Wednesday then allowed him to leave on a permanent basis in January last year when Newport came calling.

Baker’s switch to Michael Flynn’s side was an opportunity to get some regular opportunities but he didn’t nail down a regular spot.

He is a now a free agent and is a target for Penybont as they look to bolster their ranks this summer.
