"We feel Bez is a good signing for us, his ability and attributes fit the profile we are looking for," said Brady.
"He has a strong relationship with Colin Calderwood from Colin's time at Blackpool so we know all about Bez and he knows all about us and we are delighted he is joining us.

"There was a lot of interest in Bez from a number of clubs at both this and higher levels and we are really pleased to welcome him to Sixfields."
Lubala has not played in nearly a year and was last week found not guilty of raping an 18-year-old woman by Lewes Crown Court.
