Northampton Town have completed the signing of midfielder Liam Shaw from Fleetwood Town for an undisclosed fee.

The 23-year-old only joined Fleetwood in October having been released by Celtic in the summer.

Shaw, who has signed a two-and-a-half-year contract, spent last season on loan with Wigan Athletic where he made 26 appearances without scoring a goal.

He cost Celtic £300,000 from Sheffield Wednesday in 2021 and made his debut in a Europa League tie against Real Betis.

He has also spent time with Chesterfield, Motherwell and Morecambe during his career and becomes Kevin Nolan's first signing since he took over as Northampton manager last month.
