Cobblers complete goalkeeper coup

The 32-year-old was a free agent following his departure from Griffin Park at the start of July, despite being offered a new deal by the Bees. Cobblers caretaker manager Ian Sampson said: "I think at this moment we need an experienced keeper at the club and we are pleased that Simon has agreed to join us. "I also think that Chris Dunn and the rest of the players will benefit from his arrival. Simon has a wealth of experience having played both in England and Scotland and he is a good age for a keeper. "The competition will be good for Chris and for his long-term development he may well benefit from having a breather at this stage, although Simon knows Chris will be desperate to claim that shirt back and that is the way it should be." Sampson continued: "We made contact earlier this week, Simon trained with us on Thursday and I am sure he will settle in quickly and can be a big help to us."
