Larkin joins Cobblers on free transfer


The Cobblers have today signed front man Colin Larkin on a free transfer from Chesterfield. The 25-year-old can play up front or wide on the right hand side and is Stuart Gray’s second summer signing.

Born in Dundalk, Larkin’s first club was Wolverhampton Wanderers but limited chances at Molineux saw him join Kidderminster Harriers in a loan move where he hit six goals in 31 games.

Larkin then joined Mansfield Town where he spent three successful seasons, scoring 26 times during his time at Field Mill. In 2005, he joined Chesterfield on a free transfer and has since struck 13 times for the club.

So we finally have a new striker on board and Larkin has signed a two year deal at the club. With James Quinn and Andy Kirk the only other out and out strikers already here, it’s a welcome sign that some pace has been added to the squad.

The players will return to pre-season training on Monday.
