Northampton Town have extended the contract of Kevin Thornton until the end of the season.

Thornton joined the Cobblers on a short-term deal in early January after impressing the League Two club while on trial.

He has subsequently made three substitute appearances for the club and manager Ian Sampson believes the former Coventry City youngster deserves an extension.

Sampson said: "Kevin has done well and has impressed us.

"He has earned his longer contract.

"He knows he has plenty of hard work ahead of him, but I think he is making good progress and we are delighted he will be staying with us."
