Cobblers title-winner extends playing career by joining local Northants outfit
Cobblers title-winner Lawson D’Ath has extended his playing career by signing for his 11th club after leaving Hereford.
The now 33-year-old played 105 times for Cobblers between 2014 and 2017, including 46 appearances – and four goals – in the 2015/16 season when Chris Wilder’s side romped to the League Two title.
After spells at Luton, MK Dons, Hereford and Yeovil, D’Ath is back in Northamptonshire after joining Kettering. A club statement confirmed: “Lawson D'Ath signs for the Poppies. Huge statement. Beating Step 2 rivals for a player with EFL & National League pedigree. Experience, quality, leadership. Welcome to Latimer Park, Lawson!"
The Poppies will play in Southern League Premier Division Central again next season after they were beaten in the play-offs at the end of the 2025/26 campaign.
