Northampton Town have completed the signing of midfielder Connor Lemonheigh-Evans on an initial two-year deal. The 29-year-old arrives from MK Dons, where he was released following their promotion from League Two last season.
Who is Connor Lemonheigh-Evans?
Connor Lemonheigh-Evans brings a wealth of experience to Northampton Town, having made 59 appearances for MK Dons over two seasons. Before that, he was a key figure in Stockport County’s promotion to League One in the 2023-24 campaign. His career began at Bristol City, and he also helped Torquay United secure promotion to the National League in 2019.
Why does this signing matter?
Chris Hogg, the Northampton Town manager, highlighted Lemonheigh-Evans’ familiarity with League One and his track record of success at this level. With the Cobblers finishing 24th in League One last season (35 points, 9 wins, 8 draws, 29 losses from 46 games), his experience could prove vital as they aim to bounce back.
What’s next for the Cobblers?
Lemonheigh-Evans’ arrival adds depth to a midfield that will need to improve after a tough 2025 campaign, where Northampton Town scored 39 goals and conceded 74, finishing 68 points behind leaders Lincoln. His leadership and promotion-winning pedigree could help stabilize the side ahead of the new season.
