Ex-Cobbler defender on road to recovery

Former Northampton Town defender Chris Willmott says he is "very pleased" after taking the next step on his way back to full fitness with Oxford United.
The 30-year-old, who switched from Cobblers in May 2005, successfully came through his first full 90 minutes of pre-season this week.
The experienced centre-back missed most of last season with a knee injury after having surgery on his cruciate knee ligaments at the start of 2007.
He lasted the full match as the U's won 1-0 against Bath City at Twerton Park on Tuesday night.
He said: "I'm very pleased to come through the full 90 minutes and it felt fine - better than I expected, to be honest.
"I've done a lot to get up to this stage, but you're never sure about it until you test it out in games and go hard into challenges."
