Director of
Football at Oxford United. With no experience in Welsh League football it did not take long for Crawford's plans to turn south with the club rock bottom of the division and no sign of improvement. The club bought in Sam Houldsworth who was appointed joint manager after a successful period as Assistant Manage at Pontypridd Town AFC. The season before had seen Sam Houldsworth help Pontypridd win their division and it seemed perfect timing for him to join Newport City FC and help the club improve both on and off the field. First game in charge and Houldsworth helped land an unexpected 3â2 victory away to Abergavenny Town, the team's first win in seven games. A huge revamp of players and staff was not enough to save the club from relegation from Division 2 after a valiant attempt at survival. Adrift by 16 points of safety when Houldsworth was appointed and in the end a 5-point short fall meant the inevitable of life next season in Division 3.
