Paul was first given the chance to impress the County fans in Jim’s fist spell at the club, Jim first gave Paul a chance at a hound age of 16, I following Paul’s arrival to the club at the age of 11. Last season Paul marked the 150 appearance mark for the club, throughout Paul’s time at the club he has faced challenges, with the inclusion in the line up at Wembley followed by three successive relegation campaigns.

Paul has stated to The Manchester Evening News that he is unsure about his future at Northampton and stated if the club remained in the division he would happily sign once again for the club he ‘loves”. Paul knows that his chances at Northampton may be limited stating that only 3 or 4 players remain in the starting 11 from the start of the season.
