Agent fees revealed - how much did Cobblers spend on agents in 2025/26?

Cobblers spent a touch over £121k on agent fees for the 2025/26 season, the second lowest figure across League One, above only Exeter City (£101k).

The FA released the figures showing payments and transactions involving clubs and football agents on Wednesday afternoon (April 1st). Cobblers spent a little more than last season (£108k).

Luton lead the way in League One having coughed up well over £3million, almost double Cardiff, who were next on the list. Third tier clubs spent £14,041,489 combined. That compares to nearly £70m for the Championship and over £450m in the Premier League. League Two clubs racked up a total of £2.6m.

The figures show how much clubs have paid to agents, as well as all deals involving players, coaches or clubs where an FA-registered agent was involved. The period covers February 2nd, 2025, to February 3rd, 2026.
