Northampton Town have announced the double signing of Elliott List and Dean Campbell.

List will join on a free transfer from Stevenage, with the attacker signing a two year contract at Sixfields.

Midfielder Campbell has also signed a two year deal with the Cobblers, with the 24-year-old joining the club from Barrow.

Campbell was the first signing Northampton confirmed today (19/06), with the Cobblers confirming the midfielder had rejected a deal to stay with Barrow and offers from other clubs to join up.

He had been with Barrow for two years after joining from Aberdeen in 2023, making 86 appearances in two seasons for the Cumbrian club.

Cobblers boss Kevin Nolan hailed Campbell’s decision to choose Northampton as his new club, with Nolan telling the club’s official website that he was happy to bring him to Sixfields.

He said, “Dean is a player we identified very early as having the attributes we want to bring in and we have had some really good discussions with him.

“We believe his career is on an upward curve, he has had two really good years at Barrow and we believe he is ready to make the step up to League One to continue his progress.

“Given the players who we released and the injury to Liam Shaw, I wanted to make sure we added a senior player into this position before the start of pre-season and Dean is that. He is experienced, he knows the position and what is required.

“He is good on the ball, he looks after it well and he can make us play. He can also handle the physical side of the game and he is a player we think we can work with to help make him even better. Being a midfielder myself, hopefully I can pass on my knowledge and experience to help Dean do that and that is something we look at with every new signing, whatever age or experience they may be.”

Attacker List, who can play out wide or up front, moves to Northampton after five years with Stevenage. He made 39 appearances for the Hertfordshire club last season, while a career that has seen him also play for Colchester and Gillingham has seen him play over 250 times in all.

The deal saw List become Northampton’s sixth new arrival ahead of the new season, with Campbell the fifth confirmed new face for the Cobblers.

Nolan said about List, “Elliott brings something different. He is a dynamic forward who can play in a number of the attacking positions and brings real energy and attacking threat.

“We want pace down the sides next season and he fits that template perfectly. He is adaptable, he can fit into both a 4-2-3-1 or a 3-4-3 which we used a lot last season given the personnel we had available and I want us to be adaptable.

“He’s someone who can stretch defences out wide, he can score goals, and create opportunities for others but I also like that he works very hard off the ball.

“He is the type of player who can excite supporters, he will get us up the pitch but I want him to be doing most of his work in the final third of the pitch where I think he can be a real threat. We want teams to be wary of us and the threats we can pose and he helps with that.”
