Doig signs new two year contract...


Chris Doig has become the latest Cobblers player to agree a new contract with the club, signing a two year deal this afternoon. It’s a massive boost for Stuart Gray and his squad building ambitions for next season as Doig joins Mark Bunn, Liam Dolman and Bradley Johnson in signing new deals.

Doig, who signed on a free transfer under Colin Calderwood in 2005, has been a rock at the back ever since his arrival from Nottingham Forest and was even linked with a move back to the City Ground before agreeing on the new contract.

Doig played for Forest from 1997 right up to signing for the Cobblers at the start of our promotion season. He previously spent a short loan spell here during his Forest days but this latest deal keeps him here until 2009.

It’s a massive boost and once again a sign of Stuart Gray’s ambition for the club, having already persuaded Mark Bunn and Brad Johnson to sign new deals while also extending the contract of influential defender Mark Hughes. The base of the squad is already beginning to take shape for the summer and Doig’s passion and strength at the back will be a huge part of next season’s plans.
