What happened?
Maxwell began his career with Rangers and joined Rovers for the start of the 2022-23 season following further spells north of the border with Queen of the South and Ayr United.
Why it matters for Northampton Town
In his four seasons at the Eco-Power Stadium, he made more than 100 appearances, scored four goals and helped the club win the League Two title in 2024-25.
What comes next?
Cobblers boss Chris Hogg told the club website, Maxwell was "a solid defender who was aggressive and competitive, won his battles and loves to get forward". Maxwell joins striker Harvey Saunders and goalkeeper Zach Jeacock at Sixfields for the new season.
