Northampton Town have signed former Ipswich Town defender Janoi Donacien on a one-year contract. The St Lucia international has moved to Sixfields after an 18-month spell at Chesterfield, where he made 33 appearances.
What happened?
Northampton Town manager Chris Hogg said: "Janoi is a player I know well. He is in a good place physically and he is ready to kick on and help us move forward."
Why it matters for Northampton Town
The signing of Donacien is a significant boost to Northampton Town's defense, which conceded 74 goals last season. The team finished 24th in League One, with 35 points from 46 games.
What comes next?
Northampton Town will start life in League Two at home to Swindon Town on 15 August. The team will be looking to improve on their recent form, which has seen them lose their last five games.
