Four ex-Cobblers among those released by National League clubs
Former Northampton pair Ryan Haynes and Jonny Maxted have been released by Brackley Town this week.
Haynes, who began his career at Coventry City, joined Cobblers in 2022 and played his part in the promotion-winning campaign of 2022/23 under Jon Brady. He eventually departed Sixfields in 2024 when he joined Cheltenham, before heading to Brackley 12 months later.
Goalkeeper Maxted will also depart the Saints following their relegation from the National League. The 32-year-old former Exeter City and Accrington Stanley stopper made 10 appearances in two seasons at Sixfields before his release in 2023.
Elsewhere, one-time former Cobblers Emmanuel Sonupe and Liam McCarron will also be free agents this summer. Sonupe, now 30, made one league appearance for Northampton in 2016/17 and has been let go by Solihull Moors, while McCarron leaves Boston United. The 25-year-old scored twice in 21 games during the 2024/25 season.
