Northampton manager Stuart Gray has confirmed that the club have offered striker Adebayo Akinfenwa a new deal to stay at Sixfields.The former Swansea forward is set for surgery to remove a rod in his leg this summer but after scoring seven goals in 13 starts has convinced Gray he has a future at the Cobblers.

Gray said: "Over the weekend we have offered him terms and the ball is now in Bayo's court.

"We need to get this steel rod out of his leg but once we've done that I've got every confidence that we can get him much fitter.

"Andy Holt and Ryan Gilligan, like Bayo, have got until June 16 to make a decision but I've said to them I'd rather know their decision sooner rather than later."
