Former Wales striker Nathan Blake is to be appointed to the board of his home-town club Newport County, BBC Sport Wales has learned.
The one-time Premier League player, 43, has been in talks with County's lottery winning chairman Les Scadding.
He will have further negotiations with County directors this week before being confirmed as a non-executive director.
Since the return of ex-chairman Chris Blight, County have appointed three non-executive members to their board.
Blake will be the fourth such appointment within a month.
Newport are managerless since Justin Edinburgh's departure to League One Gillingham earlier this month.
Blake will advise the County on football decisions such as appointing Edinburgh's successor at Rodney Parade.
Blake's appointment is one topic at the County board meeting this week as the Newport hierarchy try to stop their slide down the League Two table.

Does that mark the end of Blakey's Bootroom?

It looks that way. I have heard that the real reason that Blakey is off to Newport is to avoid being trapped in a confined space with Steve 'Pig-Pen' Tucker and that the said Bootroom is currently being fumigated.

I am going to miss Blakey and Tucker argue every Monday.
