Branston without a club as Cobblers loan spell ends

Defender Guy Branston has departed Sixfields and is now without a club after his loan spell with the Cobblers came to an end before parent club Peterborough United cancelled his contract on the same day.

Branston made his debut in the Cobblers’ 1-0 defeat at Crewe in mid-November and was brought in initially to cover for the injuries to Chris Doig and Brett Johnson. Doig will be out for most of the season but Johnson is on the verge of coming back into the first team and Branston’s services were no longer required by Stuart Gray.

“He (Branston) came in and did a decent job for us for a month but we’ve decided not to extend his loan with Brett Johnson now match fit,” said Gray,

“Brett wasn’t fit at the time Guy arrived but since then he has recovered from injury.”
