Cobblers have signed attacking player Ricky Korboa from Isthmian Premier Division side Carshalton Athletic for an undisclosed fee.

Korboa, who can play out wide or as a central striker, has been snapped up by Northampton after doing enough to impress Keith Curle whilst on trial in pre-season.

The 23-year-old scored in the 5-0 victory over the youth team and also featured against Leyton Orient, West Brom U23s and Luton Town, playing in a variety of roles including wing-back, attacking midfield and up front.

Korboa scored 15 times for Carshalton in 2018/19 and won five of the club's seven player of the year awards, before adding a further 16 goals during the shortened 2019/20 campaign.

He is Town's eighth signing of the summer and has agreed an initial one year contract, with the option for a second year.
