Hall: This is the place to be
Northampton defender Marcus Hall snubbed the chance to play football at a higher level in order to sign for the club.
Hall had offers to ply his trade in League One this season following his departure from Coventry but the 34-year-old had already pledged to manager Ian Sampson that he would join the Sixfields club.
The veteran had been training with the Cobblers since the second day of pre-season but formally signed a one-year deal on Sunday, with the two parties given the option of a second should he play enough games during the new campaign.
Hall told the Northampton Chronicle & Echo: "There were a few clubs interested and another club came in at the last minute. But I'd given my word to people here and I wouldn't do that to the manager.
"I just wanted to be at Northampton and I was grateful for the opportunity to play. A team in League one came in as well but I'd been training here for a few weeks and I was enjoying it.
"This is the place I want to be. We've got some good players here and I think we can have a really successful season."
