Adebayo Akinfenwa was impressed with the Cobblers performance at Gillingham on Saturday, and says he hopes to soon be playing his part in a claret shirt.

"It's been a very stop start season for me so far and my immediate aim is just to build up my match fitness as quickly as possible," he said.

"I was out for a long time with a horrendous injury but that's behind me now and I just want to get my full match fitness back so I can be fit enough to start games for Northampton and help the team climb the table.

"I was out for about a year with a broken leg but that's all heeled now and I just want to start playing games of football again.

"I thought the team did very well on Saturday, it was a good away performance and it was a great free kick from Daniel Jones for the goal."
