Jon Brady believes Cameron McGeehan’s ‘energy’ and ‘power’ will make him a good fit for his team after Cobblers won the battle for his signature.

The 29-year-old enjoyed a productive campaign with Colchester United in League Two, contributing 10 goals and five assists, but turned down a new deal at the Essex club to make the switch to Sixfields, where he’s penned a two-year contract.

"Cam is another player who really suits our style," said Brady. "He has had a lot of interest in his services this summer from a number of clubs and there has been a fair bit of media speculation about his future and I am delighted we have been able to bring him to Sixfields.

"Cam is an attacking midfielder who is very competitive, he sets the tempo high and he plays with a lot of energy and power. He works well both on and off the ball and we think he is a really good fit for us.

"He has the pedigree of playing at a number of different levels and he has a quality about his play that I think supporters will enjoy watching. We believe Cam can be a good signing for us, he played a lot of football last season and he is eager to get started with us."
