Defender Ali Koiki has signed a new two year contract with Northampton Town.
The 23 year old left back joined the Cobblers in the summer of 2021 and has made seventy two appearances across the last two seasons.
Jon Brady was pleased to secure the services of a player he feels has developed in his time with the club.
“We were keen to keep Ali at the club and this is very good news,” he said.
“We believe Ali has improved and developed in his time with us but we think there is still more to come from him and under our coaching and our guidance we hope he will continue that progress.
“Ali joined us with only a handful of senior appearances under his belt but over the last couple of years he has become an important player for us and we are delighted he will be part of our squad in League One this coming season.
“He had an incredible first season with us, playing more games for us than he ever had before in a season and I felt he was showing some great form last season too and was really coming through strongly. He will be able to call on his experiences from those two years and that will help his development and progression as a player.
“We are not surprised there was interest in him this summer, but as with Max Dyche and the number of players who signed new contracts before the end of the season, it is a sign of the environment that has been created and the progress the club is making that players want to sign for the club and stay with the club.
“Whether they be new signings or new contracts for players already here, we are looking for players on an upward curve in their careers and we believe Ali is one who fits in to that category.
“Nine players have now signed new contracts with the club in the last year and that doesn’t happen by accident or if players do not enjoy playing here.”
