This led to Wales' youngest ever international being shipped out on loan to Wasps, going on to make eight appearances for the Premiership strugglers.

But this hasn't put Edwards off, insisting a move to Newport would suit both club and player right down to the ground.
"Tom's a great rugby player," said Edwards. "We're interested in any good, young Welsh player. If that came about we'd be very happy about it.
"It would be great for him to come to this environment because our average age now [in the squad] is 22.
"He would fit in well and it would be great to have him."
