Newton made two first-class appearances for Sussex against Hampshire and Essex in the 1966 County Championship.[2] Against Hampshire, Newton ended unbeaten on 16 in Sussex's first-innings of 153, while in Hampshire's first-innings he took what would be his only first-class five wicket haul, with figures of 5/54 from 32 overs to help bowl Hampshire out for 128. He was again unbeaten during Sussex's second-innings, though without scoring, while in Hampshire's second-innings he bowled 10 wicketless overs. Hampshire won the match by 9 wickets.[3] Against Essex, he was dismissed for a duck by Brian Edmeades in Sussex's first-innings total of 86, while in Essex's first-innings he took the wicket of Barry Knight, finishing with figures of 1/28 from 20 overs. He was again dismissed for a duck in Sussex's second-innings, this time by Tony Jorden, with Sussex being dismissed for 132 to set Essex a target of 66, which they easily chased down to win by 9 wickets.[4] These were his only major appearances for Sussex.
