Brown to leave Cobblers
Northampton goalkeeping coach Simon Brown has left Sixfields to resume his playing career and is set to sign for a non-League team.
The 33-year-old joined the club in September as back-up to number one Chris Dunn, but after seeing the youngster put in a series of superb performances has decided to depart in order to return to playing.
Manager Ian Sampson said: "Simon has left the club and will sign as a player for a Blue Square Premier club.
"We are working on bringing in a goalkeeping coach and hopefully we will have something in place in the next few days.
"Chris Dunn has worked his socks off and regardless of who has been coaching him he deserves most of the credit.
"Simon helped Chris but Simon also wants to play. I didn't think he would play here and so we had an agreement that if a club came in for him we would let him go and that is what has happened. We amended his playing registration in January and now this opportunity has come his way we wish him the best of luck."
