Cobblers close in on new signing

Sampson lost centre-half Dean Beckwith to injury in midweek and is also short of options in wide areas ahead of the visit of the managerless Mariners.He said: "We have irons in the fire and hopefully there will be a signing before the weekend."He is a player who is out of contract and we are just waiting to tie up the deal."Grimsby's confidence will be low after getting beat by a non-league team and then Leeds this week and it is up to us to take advantage of that."We need to start climbing up the league and we can start a winning run on Saturday."
