Oliver leaves Cobblers after rejecting new contract

Striker Vadaine Oliver has left the Cobblers after rejecting a new contract offer.

The 28-year-old joined the Cobblers from Morecambe last summer but has opted to move on to pastures new after scoring five goals last season as the club were promoted back to League One.

Oliver was one of three players offered a new contract at the end of June but he has turned that down.

"We thank Vadaine for his efforts and wish him well," said manager Keith Curle.

"I have loved working with him, but we will only make offers to players that we believe are fair and reasonable and if they choose to take them and want to be part of the club then that's great, but if not then we say our goodbyes and move on.

"I think we helped improve and develop Vadaine's game, as we have with a number of players, and we wish him well on his journey. Our planning for next season continues with talks with a number of targets ongoing."
