Northampton Town sign Kabamba

League Two side Northampton Town have announced the signing of DR Congo forward Nicke Kabamba from Scottish club Kilmarnock.

The attacker featured prominently for the Killie in the 2020-21 Scottish Premiership season, although his effort was not enough to save the club from relegation.

Kabamba hopes to help his new club gain promotion to the English third-tier at the end of the 2021-22 campaign.

“I’m happy to be on board and sign for an ambitious club. I know last season was tough but I want to do everything I can to hopefully help this club back up to League 1,” Kabamba told the club website.

“I’ve been playing up in Scotland but I’ve still been keeping an eye on results in England, I’ve got a few friends who have been here and I know this league quite well.

“I’m happy to be back in England and hopefully at a team who will be competing for promotion.

“I had a long chat with the Gaffer, he’s got a really good vibe and he made it really easy for me to make the decision to come here."
