Midfielder Missilou departs Cobblers and joins fellow League One strugglers

Cobblers midfielder Christopher Missilou has left the club and signed for fellow League One strugglers Swindon Town.

The 28-year-old only signed for Town from Oldham Athletic last summer but has been forced out of the team in recent times. His last start came against Lincoln before Christmas.

"Christopher has found his opportunities here limited in recent weeks and I think that would have continued," said manager Keith Curle.

"Our squad has evolved a little in the last few weeks. With the arrival of Bryn Morris and the return to fitness of Shaun McWilliams, alongside Jack Sowerby and Ryan Watson, we have some good competition for places in central midfield.

"We feel this window has been a good window for ourselves, with both the ins and outs, and we think we have more quality now in the squad to face a very hectic second half of the season.”
