Semenyo ‘learning a lot’ out on loan
Wednesday, October 31st 2018
Antoine Semenyo says he is benefitting greatly by playing with Newport County in League Two.
The striker, 18, recently scored his first league goal for the club and in incredible fashion too as he found the back of the net with a winner against Stevenage, deep into added time.
“I’m really enjoying it, it’s been going really well,” said Semenyo, who is on loan with the South Wales club until the end of the season.
“It’s been an unreal experience and It has been great to be learning from other, older players.”
Semenyo has scored three goals this season, one in each competition (Checkatrade Trophy, Carabao Cup and Sky Bet League Two) but his latest came in the league, which was extra-special for the forward.
He said: “I was so happy, it was a great feeling and there were unreal scenes. I’d scored before but that was my first league goal and now I just want to carry on and get more.”
What a win that is lads always go right till the end. Two brilliant finishes. Fans were class again. Think I may well have enjoyed that goal a bit 👇😂😂 pic.twitter.com/Athdr8tLi8

And his time with the Exiles has been made all the easier thanks to his new teammates.
“I was made to feel really welcomed,” he added.
“There are players here who are both funny and serious at times but that’s a good mix. I love the team, even when there are ups and downs the team stays positive and we are happy together as a team and I am learning a lot.”
Semenyo, who made his City first-team debut on the final day of the 2017/18 season, is joined at the Exiles by fellow teammates Tyreeq Bakinson and Cameron Pring.
Newport drew 1-1 at the weekend, with Semenyo playing the full 90 minutes, while Pring starred off the bench.
