Northampton bring in Campbell and List

Dean Campbell started his career with Aberdeen

Northampton Town have signed Barrow midfielder Dean Campbell and Stevenage forward Elliott List on two-year deals.

Campbell, 24, rejected the offer of a new contract from the Bluebirds to move up to League One and join the Cobblers, while List had been in negotiations over a new deal with Stevenage before opting to move to Sixfields.

Campbell made 33 League Two appearances for the Cumbrian side last season, scoring one goal, after initially joining from Aberdeen in June 2023.

"There was a lot of interest in him so it is a credit to the club that we have been able to make this signing," Northampton boss Kevin Nolan told the club website.

Campbell was the fifth signing of the summer for Northampton who finished 19th in League One last season.

List became the sixth signing shortly afterwards, joining after spending six years at the Lamex Stadium, during which time he scored 35 goals in 201 appearances.

The 28-year-old was previously with Gillingham after coming through the Crystal Palace youth system.

Nolan said: "He is a dynamic forward who can play in a number of the attacking positions and brings real energy and attacking threat.

"We want pace down the sides next season and he fits that template perfectly."
