Lindley made his Aston Villa debut in a 4-1 FA Cup defeat by Liverpool in January 2021 and later helped Villa's Under-18s win the FA Youth Cup against the Reds.

Newport boss James Rowberry told the club's website: "I'm delighted to welcome Hayden to the club.

"His leadership qualities as Aston Villa Under-23s captain and his attributes as a midfielder will help us as we aim to make this season a successful one."
