Northampton Town midfielder Ryan Gilligan insists everyone at the club is focused on a late charge for the play-off places.

The Cobblers have moved to the fringes of the play-off places after picking up 18 points from the 27 on offer since the turn of the year.

Stuart Gray's side secured back-to-back league wins after edging out Hartlepool United on Friday night.

"I think it was a vital win for us up at Hartlepool and that could prove to be the three points that really kicks our season on," he told the club's official website.

"We're on a good run of form at the moment and, if we can keep winning games, we can really make a challenge for the play-offs.

"My contract is up here in the summer but I think this club is going places and I really want to be a part of that.

"I don't think contracts have really been mentioned yet but I think that just shows how fully focused we all are on trying to get into the play-offs."
