Premier Trialist In Croatia With Cobblers

Northampton are now in Croatia undertaking a pre-season training camp, and Aidy Boothroyd has said that his squad look “in good shape”.

As is usual for pre-season training the squad involves some new faces that’ll hope to be around for the long haul, however as is also usual not all trialists make the grade.

JJ Hooper and Nigel Oldfield Spence-Neita were with Newcastle and Arsenal respectively last season, perhaps they’ve not really tasted Premier League football but they’ve been involved with a club at that level so they’re definitely worth a look.

Lateef Elford-Alliyu, a striker formerly with West Brom and Bury, is also being given a chance.
