He lives in Wales, that’s likely why he’s training with Newport.
There’s no way we’d pay him anything like what he’d want, even though he’s been absolute rabbit **** for 4 year.
He may well have earned many tens of thousands of £s a week, a few years ago, but recently he's been in the Ch'Sp with Swansea and currently he's earning nothing at all.
In those circumstances something like £5,000 a week might look very tasty.
Personally I doubt he would be worth the trouble, but there may well be others in a similar situation where the same financial case could be made.
