'An athlete with a serious engine' - What you need to know about Northampton's new midfielder
Connor Lemonheigh-Evans has been confirmed as Northampton’s seventh signing of the summer.
The 29-year-old midfielder has penned an initial two-year deal and will bolster Chris Hogg’s options in the middle of the park.
The two-time League Two promotion winner and former Wales Under-21 international can play anywhere across the midfield but he’s also been used as a utility player, including stints at wing-back. Whilst not necessarily a goalscorer, Lemonheigh-Evans has a knack for finding good positions and chipping in with goals here and there.
To find out more about Town’s new man, we asked MK Dons reporter Toby Lock for some insight...
"If nothing else, Connor Lemonheigh-Evans is an athlete. His willingness to take on the Stockholm Marathon this summer shows he's got a serious engine in him, and he shows that on the field too. While his 'best' position is still up in the air, even to him, where he is asked to play he will show willing and endeavour.
"A bit of a midfield terrier, he can play both sides of the ball, can run with it and cover every blade, doesn't mind a tackle and has a half-decent cross on him from the right flank. A really useful utility man, he can chip in with a goal from time-to-time, isn't afraid to put his head in where it hurts and will quietly go about his business without drawing much attention.
"While he was never a headline grabber, Dons fans will fondly remember him for snubbing AFC Wimbledon in favour of a move to Milton Keynes."
