Dean Bowditch: Northampton Town sign ex-MK Dons forward on two-year deal

Dean Bowditch spent six years at MK Dons after joining them from Yeovil in 2011

Northampton Town have signed forward Dean Bowditch on a two-year contract after he left League One rivals MK Dons at the end of last season.

The 31-year-old, who can also play in midfield, scored 48 goals in 227 appearances for the Dons, helping them reach the Championship in 2014-15.

He joins winger Daniel Powell in making the move from Stadium:MK to Justin Edinburgh's Cobblers this summer.

"We are really pleased to bring Dean to the club," said Edinburgh.

"He is a versatile attacking player, he can play as a striker, as a midfielder or in the hole and he gives us options.

"We have spoken a lot about putting together a well-balanced attacking unit with options and Dean fits in with that policy."
