Hubertz heading out of Sixfields

Poul Hubertz will not be offered a new contract at the end of this campaign. The Cobblers’ leading goal scorer is rumoured to be heading back to his native Denmark in the summer and has not been given a new deal by Stuart Gray after the Cobblers boss named his retained list this morning.

Also heading out of Sixfields are Joe Burnell, Brett Johnson and Danny May. Ryan Gilligan has been offered a new contract, as has Andy Holt whilst Adebayo Akinfenwa is waiting in the wings without a decision made on him just yet.

Hubertz joined the club last summer on a free transfer from Millwall and has hit twelve goals this season. But his time at Sixfields looks now to be over and the 31-year-old will leave after the final game of the season at home to Tranmere Rovers. Joe Burnell was given the captaincy recently in the absence of Chris Doig but the midfielder is also surplus to requirements.

Brett Johnson will be disappointed to miss out after a string of good performances in the middle of the season before injury set in while Danny May never really got a good run in the side.

Ryan Gilligan’s hard work has paid off while Andy Holt’s strength and height advantage was also seen to be something that Stuart Gray didn’t want to lose.

The players offered new deals have until June 17th to come to a decision on their futures.
