Northampton Town have signed former MK Dons midfielder Connor Lemonheigh-Evans on an initial two-year deal.

"He [Lemonheigh-Evans] knows the level really well and has a lot of experience of being successful at this level," said Cobblers manager Chris Hogg. "He knows what it takes and that can be very important."

Lemonheigh-Evans started his career at Bristol City, and also won promotion to the National League with Torquay United in 2019.
