Northampton Town have given extended contracts to defenders Nesta Guinness-Walker and TJ Eyoma.

Former Reading left-back Guinness-Walker, 25, released by the Royals in the summer, has made 12 appearances since arriving on a short-term contract at the end of September.

He has now signed an 18-month contract, while Eyoma's deal has been extended until the end of this season.

Eyoma, 24, also arrived as a free agent in early November, following his end-of-season release by Lincoln City.

He has now made nine appearances - but was red carded in the most recent of them, Tuesday's EFL Trophy defeat by Peterborough United.

The managerless Cobblers sit 19th in League One, just two points away from danger, having so far won one and lost one in the league in their two games under caretaker boss Ian Sampson following the departure of Jon Brady on 5 December.

The Cobblers host 14th-placed Charlton Athletic this Saturday.
