League Two round-up: Keith Hill is new Tranmere Rovers boss, leaders Newport earn dramatic winner and woes for Stevenage go on

Hill has signed an initial contract to the end of the season and replaces the sacked Mike Jackson.

The former Dale boss has been out of work since leaving Bolton when his contract expired following their relegation from League One last year.

"It's a club which has the facilities and the players to achieve promotion and that will be my aim," he said.

Rovers chairman Mark Palios said: "Keith emerged as the strongest candidate and I am delighted he has accepted the role.

"With Keith's managerial experience, and Ian and Andy's knowledge of the current squad and coaching ability, I am confident they will make a very effective team."

Elsewhere, Kevin Ellison scored a 96th minute winner as leaders Newport County beat Port Vale 1-0.

It leaves The Exiles three points clear of chasing Cheltenham Town, who beat Walsall 3-0.

Struggling Stevenage were beaten 2-1 at home to Bolton Wanderers and remain in bottom two as they look to avoid a second successive ‘relegation.’

Mansfield’s 1-1 draw at home to Colchester United on Friday night leaves them three points ahead of Stevenage ahead of another round of matches on Tuesday night.
