Larkin Joins Cobblers

Last updated : 28 June 2007 By Paul Fisher
Northampton Town today signed Spireites striker Colin Larkin on a Bosman transfer. Larkin some what surprisingly signs a two year deal with the Cobblers after enduring a somewhat good/bad time at Saltergate.


Larkin endeared himself to the Spireite supporters when he left rivals "them" to join the Blues in 2005. Ever the willing runner, Colin somewhat lacked when he came upfront. Larking scored 7 goals in his first season and the Spireites were looking for Larkin to kick on last season but to no avail he only managed a paltry six goals last term.

Larkin will be forever remembered though in scoring the equaliser against West Ham United which the Spireites went onto win live on Sky Sports.
