Jamie Devitt moved from Carlisle to Blackpool in July 2019
Newport County have signed midfielder Jamie Devitt on loan from League One Blackpool.
The former Republic of Ireland Under-21 international has agreed a stay until January.
Wales Under-21 full-back Aaron Lewis has joined on loan from Lincoln City while striker Jamie Proctor has arrived on loan from Rotherham.
Lewis has joined until 2 January while Proctor's loan is sue to expire on 17 January.
Dublin-born Devitt, 30, approaching 300 league starts and is a former Bradford City team-mate of Newport manager Mike Flynn.
He said of Devitt: "I know Jamie well, he is a very intelligent player, he can play a number of positions."
Devitt's career started at Hull City and has included spells at Chesterfield, Carlisle and Blackpool, as well as various loans.
Proctor, 28, has scored 48 goals in 268 league appearances during his career which has included spells at Preston, Crawley, Bradford and Bolton.
"Everyone I have spoken to has had nothing but great words to say about the staff, players and the club as a whole," Proctor told the Newport website.
"I want to help the team continue their good start and contribute as much as I can during my time here."
Lewis, 22, is a product of Swansea City's academy but left the Liberty Stadium in the summer of 2019 before joining Lincoln City.
"Hopefully I can come and impress the manager enough to get some games and show people what I can do," Lewis said.
County entertain Tranmere at Rodney Parade on Saturday, looking to bounce back after last weekend's 2-1 loss at Cambridge, their first League Two defeat of the campaign.
Flynn admits preparation is difficult because Tranmere were without a clutch of players for last weekend's 2-2 draw at Salford, having had positive Covid-19 tests.
The Newport boss said: "I think the situation up there was that they were missing 10 players, but I am not sure how many of those were through injuries or Covid related.
"They kept that part of it in house which is a compliment to them.
"But I will be straight, we are almost second guessing the team they are going to have available."
Meanwhile striker Lewis Collins is out for a few weeks having damaged ankle ligaments while making his Wales Under-21 debut last week.
