Cobblers bring in former West Ham midfielder Swyer

Swyer was a regular for West Ham's reserve side and made one first-team appearance

Northampton have made their third signing of the summer by bringing attacking midfielder Kamarai Swyer to Sixfields on a two-year deal.

The 22-year-old West Ham academy graduate, who can operate in a central or wide role, previously worked with Cobblers boss Kevin Nolan at the London Stadium.

Swyer follows midfielder Jack Perkins and defender Jack Burroughs as additions to Nolan's squad for the 2025-26 season.

"Kamarai is a talented young player with huge potential. We think we are getting him at a good time," said Nolan.

"He is on an upward curve, he had a standout season in Premier League 2 last season, with eight goals and 10 assists - the most number of goal involvements for any West Ham player.

"He is ready to challenge himself and go to the next level and that is what we will work with him to help him achieve."

Swyer made a single first-team appearance for the Hammers in their Europa Conference League game against Steaua Bucharest in November 2022 and also had an 11-match loan spell with Crawley in League Two the following season.
