Chris Hackett signs two-year contract extension with Northampton Town

Chris Hackett has signed a new two-year contract with League Two side Northampton Town.

The 31-year-old winger joined the club in 2012 from Millwall and was a key player in the Cobblers' run to the League Two playoff final last year.

"He is one of the most effective attacking players at this level and as I have said before, when he plays well, we play well," Northampton boss Chris Wilder told the club website. "I was really keen to keep Chris, he is a big player for us and to have got this deal tied up so early is excellent news."

After their run to the playoff final in 2012-13, Northampton struggled last season and only just stayed up on the final day.
