Newport County manager Anthony Hudson has identified three current and former Bermuda Hogges players who he is confident could do a job at the Conference level.Hudson, a close friend of Hogges co-owner Paul Scope, has handed an open invitation for those players to train with the Welsh non-league side to see if they can handle the standard.Having coached in the United States for a number of years, Hudson is familiar with Hogges players, past and present and is a known admirer of strikers Stevie Astwood and Domico Coddington.Goalkeeper Freddy Hall, who spent a month training with Plymouth Argyle last summer, is another Hudson might wish to see in action.“Paul’s (Scope) a really, really good friend and we go back a long way,” said Hudson, who formerly coached at Wilmington Hammerheads and Real Maryland Monarchs.“Obviously I know the players, I’ve been over there (Bermuda), so it makes sense to build on that relationship.”The 30-year-old coach said he would be looking for players who were ready-made for the National Conference the fifth tier of England football.“We’ve spoken about the possibility of players coming over,” said Hudson. “It’s at a real early stage at the moment but it’s certainly something we can keep talking about.“There’s definitely two or three players over there who I think can come over (and fit in) at our level.”Seattle-born Hudson played midfield for West Ham’s youth team where he was a room-mate of current England and Manchester United star Michael Carrick before joining Dutch side Nijmegen after his release by the Hammers.But after quitting playing, he started his coaching badges and passed his UEFA A licence on a course with Roy Keane, Gareth Southgate and Steve Staunton.Discovering a flair for coaching, Hudson’s career in football was reborn in the US where he worked as assistant at Hammerheads before enjoying two successful seasons as head coach at Real Maryland.He returned to the UK a year ago and was offered a reserve coach’s position at Tottenham by manager Harry Redknapp, who described Hudson as “like a young José Mourinho.”Redknapp recommended Hudson to Newport last month when their managerial post become vacant enabling him to cut his teeth at a lower league English club.Hudson, son of ex-Chelsea and England midfielder Alan, believes his time coaching in the US has prepared him well for life in the muck and nettles of Conference football.He said: “It was great to be able to work with senior players at a younger age, especially at Real Maryland which is a club with very few resources.“It was great working in the trenches, wearing every single hat, having to do every single job. It was a great grounding, a great learning experience.“To be fair I wanted to come back and get a manger’s job at lower league football. Harry, the Spurs manager, offered me an opportunity to come back and work with their reserves and that helped me get a manager’s job.”Hudson is confident his side can mount a successful promotion push next season having narrowly missed out on last season’s play-offs.“We’re going to be very strong next year, we’re a very ambitious club and everything’s in place here,” he said.“We’ve just got to make sure we get the recruitment right and get off to a good start. We’ve got a great fanbase, they’re proper hardcore support and we have a bit of history having been in the Football League and European Cup.”Newport last week announced they would be turning professional with the club becoming a full-time outfit.Since their revival in 1989 they have been part-time, training twice a week.However, after winning promotion in 2010 to the National Conference the Exiles have had a mixture of full-time and part-time players, but from now on will train every day as they look for a return route to the Football League.Hogges kick off their Premier Development League season tomorrow against Reading United at BAA Field. The match starts at 7pm.
