Cobblers have missed out on 'one or two' but will keep working hard to bolster squad

Cobblers will keep ‘working hard’ to add to the squad after missing out on ‘one or two’ transfer targets.

The club have already brought in eight players this summer but manager Jon Brady remains keen to strengthen in most positions, with attacking areas the priority.

"We have been working hard and we will keep working hard,” he said. “We feel we have been close and maybe missed out on one or two but we will keep working.

"There's still time left in the window and we will work towards trying to strengthen the squad before the deadline.”

Cobblers included two trialists in their squad for Saturday’s final pre-season friendly at Cheltenham, one of which came on for the final 20 minutes.

"We have had a couple of trialists in with us,” Brady added. “They played in the midweek game against Rushden which was only on Thursday night so we couldn't give them too many minutes today. We are just taking a look at them.”
