Sat 07 Jun, 02:00 PM


Northampton Town manager Stuart Gray has voiced his desire to bring in multi-talented professionals at Sixfields this summer.The Cobblers on Friday brought in versatile midfielder Liam Davis from Coventry and Gray admitted that with a limited transfer kitty, adaptable squad members are top of his list.

"We've used Danny Jackman and Jason Crowe in central midfield and they're both full-backs by nature but I don't think it hurts any player to play them in several positions," Gray told the Northampton Chronicle.

"If I asked Chris Doig or Gabor Gyepes to go and play up front then I'm sure they would do.

"The 10 outfield players should all be interchangeable. I always look at Brazil, I think their outfield players must all have started as centre-forwards because they all want to get forward and they all look so confident on the ball.

"I don't think players can pigeon-hole themselves in one position. They all want to play, that's the be-all and end-all of it."
