Northampton Town have won the race to sign Leeds United striker Leon Constantine on a free transfer.

Injuries restricted the 30-year-old to only two starts for United last season following his arrival at Elland Road from Port Vale.

He also scored twice in eight appearances for Oldham Athletic during a loan spell at Boundary Park towards the end of last term.

Cobblers boss Stuart Gray is delighted with his latest capture, telling the club's official website: "He's a centre-forward with a physical presence and a proven goalscoring record at this level.

"Leon was on my summer wish-list and I think we've perhaps benefited from Dennis Wise going to Newcastle.

"Gary McAllister has come in wanting to sign his own players and that's given us the chance to bring in a player who I think is a quality centre-forward."
