King signs on in time for Vale game

The Cobblers have signed front man Craig King on a month’s loan from Leicester City this afternoon. King’s goal scoring record isn’t too impressive, with just three from twenty eight games on loan at Hereford last season, but he has scored at Sixfields for the Bulls – in their 3-1 win over Town around a year ago.

Despite the lack of real goal scoring records, he’s described as more of a battling and hard working striker that will quickly win over the fans. He’s got a good chance to immediately do that if he helps us to victory over Port Vale on Saturday and the signing adds pressure to Billy McKay to keep his place assuming that Leon McKenzie won’t be held back should he be passed fit to play.
