Northampton Town have announced the signings of Jack Burroughs and Kamarai Swyer.

The League One club have signed Burroughs on a 2-year deal after his release by Coventry City and Swyer on a 2-year deal after his exit from West Ham United.

The moves mean the Cobblers have made a trio of new signings ahead of the 2025/26 season, having previously signed midfielder Jack Perkins from Nottingham Forest.

Defender Burroughs, who can play as a full-back or in midfield, signs after previously representing the Cobblers’ one-time tenants Coventry City.

The 24-year-old has previous League One experience after a loan spell with Lincoln City, while he also has top flight experience in Scotland after loan spells with Ross County and Kilmarnock. He also has received caps from the Scotland national team at levels up to the under-21 team.

Northampton Manager Kevin Nolan told the club’s official website of his delight to bring Burroughs to the club.

He said, “Jack is a player we’ve admired for a while and this is a signing we are very pleased to make. He has qualities that fit with what we are looking for. He brings pace and athleticism, versatility, he is good on the ball and has a very good attitude. We believe he’ll be a valuable addition to our squad and we believe he can have an impact here.

“While he is mainly a right back or right wing back, he can also play on the left side or in midfield too and from our meetings with him, his determination and ambition to do well here was clear. We think he is a good age and has a good range of experience of playing in the Championship, in a side that were battling at the top of League One and in Scotland and in European competition too.”

Meanwhile, 20-year-old attacking midfielder and striker Swyer will join the club after being released by West Ham United.

Swyer has previously worked with Nolan, who spent time as a first team coach with the Premier League side during David Moyes’ second spell in charge at the London Stadium.

The winger spent time last season on loan in League One with Crawley Town.

On Swyer, Nolan said, “Kamarai is a talented young player with huge potential, who I have worked with before so I know all about him. He’s hungry, technically gifted, he takes people on and is a good athlete who is a good size and has an excellent attitude.

“We’re excited to welcome him to the squad and look forward to working with him and to see him develop with us over the next two years.

“We think we are getting him at a good time. He is on an upward curve, he had a standout season in Premier League 2 last season, with eight goals and ten assists, the most number of goal involvements for any West Ham player.
