Northampton sign Martyn Waghorn and TJ Eyoma

Northampton Town have signed striker Martyn Waghorn and TJ Eyoma on free transfers.

Both arrived due to being out of contract, with Waghorn available after being released by Derby County at the end of last season and Eyoma signed after his departure from Lincoln City at the end of last season.

The signings were announced on Friday (01/11), with both making their debuts for Northampton in the FA Cup against Kettering earlier today (02/11).

Northampton confirmed the two arrivals have signed on short-term contracts of undisclosed length.

Experienced striker Waghorn, 34, had spent most of his career playing in the Championship, representing such clubs as Sunderland, Leicester, Hull, Wigan, Ipswich, Derby and Coventry, as well as a spell in Scotland with Rangers.

Waghorn scored seven times last season in a second spell at Derby as he helped the Rams with promotion from League One last season.

Eyoma, 24, had made 148 appearances in all competitions for Lincoln, having joined the Imps first on loan in 2020 and then on a permanent basis in 2021 from his first club Spurs. The defender, who can play at full-back and centre-back, arrived after time out of the game following his departure from Lincoln.

The two signings mean that Northampton have confirmed they are now at the maximum squad limit under EFL rules.
