Cobblers sign Gills' man Jackman


The Cobblers have revealed that Danny Jackman will join the club from Gillingham on a free transfer this summer.

Jackman, whose contract with the Gills runs out at the end of June, will join up with the squad for pre-season training after his summer break. The left back, who can also play in midfield spent two years at The Priestfield Stadium after previous spells at Stockport County and Aston Villa. Gray knows Jackman from his time at Villa Park and he comes highly rated after picking up two player of the year awards in 2006.

The signing will increase the debate about the Cobblers future of Andy Holt and Jason Crowe, both more forward thinking full back, as Stuart Gray has indicated that he would prefer to play with out and out left and right backs.

Jackman’s signing follows on from the good news last week of Chris Doig putting pen to paper on a new deal and the squad is already looking good even before the summer holidays begin!
