"I spoke to Neville Southall about him, who took him on tour last year with the Wales squad, and he gave the lad a high recommendation", Cornforth told the South Wales Argus. "We are getting him at a great time because he is bang in form and hopefully he will hit the ground running".
Bond will go straight into the squad to face Margate in Newport's crucial midweek fixture, as they aim to fight their way up the table and away from their current position - just one point above the relegation zone.
