Northampton have signed striker Tom Eaves, who is free after leaving Rotherham United.
The 32-year-old has signed a two-year contract at Sixfields, becoming Northampton’s sixth new signing for the 2024/25 season.
Eaves signs following two years at Rotherham, where he scored six goals in 35 appearances across all competitions last season.
Between 2017 and 2019, the striker had a breakthrough season with Gillingham, scoring 40 goals in all competitions. He then spent three seasons with Hull City, helping them achieve promotion from League One in the 2020/21 season, before moving on to Rotherham for two more years in the Championship.
Eaves joins the previously announced additions of James Wilson, Nik Tzanev, Callum Morton, Cameron McGeehan, and Jack Baldwin.
Cobblers manager Jon Brady told the club’s official website that he was an excellent addition to the squad.
He stated, “Tom is an excellent addition to the squad.
“He has a muscular presence, and we believe he will fit in well with the club’s other strikers.
“He is more than simply a physical presence; he is incredibly mobile and capable of skilful finishes, as seen by his record. He has a strong goals-to-games ratio.
“He concluded last season strongly in the Championship, scoring twice on the penultimate day, and has spent the last three seasons there.
“When a player with Tom’s attributes, his experience, his goalscoring record and his pedigree becomes available there is always a lot of interest and we are delighted to be able to welcome him to Sixfields.”
