Coke claims refuted by Cobblers
Coke, 23, was out of contract at the end of last season, and was offered terms to stay at Sixfields. Although the midfielder was out of the country when the deadline for accepting the terms expired, those terms were accepted on his behalf by his agent via email.
Coke has been training with Stuart Gray's side for the last fortnight and has featured in their pre-season friendlies against Brackley, Histon and Corby but has now signed a contract with Motherwell.
A club statement said: "Giles Coke has now travelled to Motherwell and has signed a contract, which the club is disappointed to learn.
Northampton Town do not accept this course of events and in view
of the unusual circumstances, we have sought advice from professional bodies to determine whether compensation is due.
"The club are very disappointed at how things have transpired, having acted in all good faith to support the player and offer terms that were deemed acceptable by the player and confirmed by the agent, whom the player has a binding representation agreement with.
"We are unable to comment further until the legal process has been completed."
