NEWTOWN manager Nathan Leonard is leading fundraising efforts for one of his injured players.
Many Newtown fans have not seen summer signing Charley Edge in action after he sustained a broken leg in the club's first pre-season friendly.
The ex-Gresford Athletic player underwent a successful operation but has since suffered a set back and is now due to go back under the knife following an infection.
Leonard said: "Unfortunately, Charley is now looking at a longer recovery time which means a longer period off work.

"With no sick pay from work and unable to play football and a family to provide for we as a club must come together and help one of our own."
With that in mind, the Newtown boss hopes to raise £2k by completing a 12 sponsored walk around Oswestry.
He said: "This isn’t the hardest challenge out there but I just want to do something to hopefully help raise more money and also, I want to do this as quickly as possible so Charley and his family can get some much needed help."
The walk will start at 4am on Sunday, August 31 and will finish at 4pm Sunday afternoon at the Bell Inn in Oswestry.
