Northampton Town have signed striker Tyreece Simpson on a season long loan from Huddersfield Town.
Simpson is a 6ft 1in, 21 year old front man who started his career with Ipswich Town making seven appearances for the Tractor Boys.
In his time at Portman Road he enjoyed a successful loan spell at Swindon Town, scoring eleven times in thirty appearances, before making the move to Huddersfield Town for an undisclosed fee in September 2022, and has since played ten games for the Terriers.
"Tyreece is a long time target of ours and we are delighted he is joining us given there is always a lot of interest in him," said manager Jon Brady.
"I don't think he needs too much in the way of an introduction from me to be honest, I am sure everyone will remember the impact he made at Swindon Town and we are very excited to welcome him to Sixfields.
"He is a good age with some good experience, he has the physicality to be a big threat but he is much more than that. He is a striker who knows where the net is, he is mobile, he has the hunger and desire to do well and he fits the profile of players we are looking for. He will add to our attacking options at the top end of the pitch and will be something different for us. He will blend well with the other attacking players already at the club.
"He has always impressed us, either when playing against us or whenever we have watched him. We said we would be patient to work to secure the signings we wanted and our patience has been rewarded here.
"Tyreece has a fantastic attitude, we believe he will be a popular addition to the dressing room and we are very pleased to welcome him as a Cobbler."
