Ryan Cresswell leaves Northampton

Northampton have cancelled the contract of defender Ryan Cresswell.

The Cobblers are looking forward to Sky Bet League One football next term and boss Rob Page is looking to further bolster their defence ahead of Saturday's opener at home to Fleetwood.

That would leave Cresswell out in the cold and the 28-year-old, who last played for Northampton in January, wants regular football.

Page said: "Obviously Ryan was part of the squad last year but maybe didn't play as much as he would have liked in the second half of the season.

"We expect to be adding another central defender this week and therefore Ryan's playing opportunities were going to be limited in this League One campaign.

"Ryan is a good lad and I wish him well."
