Football News Update: Northampton Town Bolsters Defensive Line with Signing of Ross County Captain Jack Baldwin
Northampton, England, [Current Date] – In a significant move, Northampton Town has announced the signing of Ross County captain Jack Baldwin on a two-year deal. The former Hartlepool, Peterborough, Sunderland and Bristol Rovers defender has joined the club for an undisclosed fee, as reported by the club’s official website.
Baldwin, an experienced and commanding presence in the backline, made 102 appearances for Ross County over the past three seasons, helping the Scottish Premiership side retain their top-flight status through a play-off victory over Raith Rovers in May.
Northampton manager Jon Brady expressed his delight at securing the services of the 29-year-old center-back, stating, “Jack is a real leader, an organiser and someone we are delighted to welcome to the club. He is a brave defender, someone who wins his fair share of tackles and blocks, but he can play too.“
This latest acquisition marks the fifth signing for Northampton Town since their 10th-place finish in the League One table last season. The Cobblers will kick off the new campaign with an away fixture against one of Baldwin’s former clubs, Bristol Rovers, on August 10th.
