Breaking: Cobblers re-sign Leicester City forward Josh Eppiah on loan

Cobblers have re-signed Josh Eppiah on a season-long loan from Premier League club Leicester City.

The versatile forward has already had a taste of life at Sixfields after he spent the second half of last season with Jon Brady’s men. He made 15 appearances in that time and scored two goals, both in a 4-2 victory over Leyton Orient.

Eppiah, 23, has often battled injury during his career and he did so again at times last season, but he won over Cobblers supporters with a series of exciting and direct performances, both on the wing and as a striker. For that reason, Brady has been keen to bring him back to Sixfields this summer and finally a move was confirmed on Friday evening. He is the 11th player to sign for the club this summer.

Prior to joining the Cobblers, Eppiah was a regular for Leicester U23 side and spent time on loan with Oud-Heverlee Leuven in Belgium's top flight. He also gained experience when scoring twice for Leicester in the 2019/20 Papa John's Trophy.
