Northampton defender Dyche signs new two-year deal

Max Dyche made 20 appearances for the Cobblers last season

Northampton Town's Max Dyche has agreed a new two-year contract with the League One club until 2027.

The 22-year-old academy graduate made his senior debut for the club in 2020 and has played 53 times for the Cobblers.

Dyche has had loan spells with Kettering, Aldershot and at Woking, where he spent the first half of last season before returning to Sixfields, making 20 appearances for Town.

"I take particular pride in academy players coming through to the first team, and Max had a good run of games in the second half of last season," Northampton boss Kevin Nolan told the club website.

"He stepped up and played his part when we needed him last season, and we're pleased to secure his future with us.

"We are looking for a balance and a blend in the squad between youth and experience, and we see Max as one of a talented group of younger players we have."
