Northampton Town striker Martyn Waghorn has left the club following a mutual and amicable agreement to terminate his short-term contract.
Waghorn, who signed for the Cobblers at the end of October, made eight appearances and scored one goal during his brief spell.
Interim Manager’s Appreciation
Interim manager Ian Sampson praised Waghorn for his contribution to the team over the past few weeks and wished him well for the future.
“Martyn came in and helped us through the last few weeks,” said Sampson. “All parties have now agreed to terminate the contract, and we thank Martyn for his time with the club and we wish Martyn and his family all the very best for the future. He is a first-class character and a good man, and we have enjoyed having him in the dressing room.”
Waghorn Reflects on His Time
Waghorn expressed his gratitude to Northampton Town for his time at the club, despite its short duration.
“I have enjoyed my albeit short time with Northampton Town,” said Waghorn. “This is a good club, and I thank everyone for making me so welcome. I wish everyone involved all the very best for the future.”
A Brief Spell at the Cobblers
Waghorn’s arrival on a short-term deal came as a boost for the squad, providing valuable experience during a challenging period for the club. His departure comes as Northampton Town look ahead to reshaping their squad for the remainder of the season.
What’s Next?
With the January transfer window approaching, the Cobblers will likely look to reinforce their attack. Meanwhile, Waghorn’s next move remains to be seen, though his professionalism and experience will undoubtedly make him an attractive option for other clubs.
