Northampton Town manager Chris Hogg expects further signings before the League One season kicks off. The Cobblers have already secured seven players this summer, including Connor Evans on a two-year deal. Hogg aims to bolster his squad, particularly in attack, ahead of their August 15 opener against Swindon Town. Northampton finished 24th in League One last season with 35 points, scoring 35 goals and conceding 62, ending 58 points behind leaders Lincoln.
What did Hogg say about transfers?
Hogg confirmed the club’s intention to add more players before the transfer window closes. After a 4-2 pre-season win over Solihull Moors, he said: “What is life without hope? We’re always looking to improve the squad. I think there will be movement in the next couple of weeks.” The Cobblers scored four goals in the friendly, showcasing their attacking potential.
Why is this important for Northampton Town?
Northampton’s struggles last season highlight the need for reinforcements. Finishing 24th with a goal difference of -27, the Cobblers must strengthen to avoid another relegation battle. Hogg’s focus on creativity and attacking play suggests he wants to address the team’s scoring issues.
What comes next for the Cobblers?
With the transfer window open until late August, Northampton Town will look to finalize deals before their first league game. Hogg’s confidence in adding players suggests the club is working behind the scenes to secure key signings. Fans will hope these additions can turn around the team’s fortunes in the new season.
