Northampton signing Alfie Potter scored four goals in 35 games in all competitions this season

Northampton Town have signed winger Alfie Potter on a two-year contract.

The 26-year-old worked under Cobblers manager Chris Wilder at Oxford United, but joined AFC Wimbledon in January, 12 months after Wilder's departure.

Potter was also part of non-league Havant & Waterlooville's run to the fourth round of the FA Cup in 2007-08.

He told BBC Radio Northampton: "It was a no brainer playing for Chris again. I've had an up and down 18 months after a bad injury and want to kick on now."

"I went to Wimbledon to get a run of games, now it's my challenge to get back to the level I was at before under Chris."

Potter made 113 league starts for Oxford over two spells since 2009, but left by mutual consent in January.

He joins a Northampton side that finished 12th in League Two, 10 points below the play-off places.
