Bradford City Midfielder Makes Northampton Debut
Lee Evans, a former Bradford City midfielder, has made his debut for Northampton in their Carabao Cup defeat at Leicester. Evans signed for the Cobblers on a one-year loan deal just a day after captain Dean Campbell joined Notts County.
What Happened?
Evans came on as an 83rd-minute substitute in the Carabao Cup match, despite being a few weeks behind in terms of fitness. He had been training with the PFA during the summer after leaving City and only signed for the Cobblers on Friday.
Why it Matters for Bradford City
Evans' departure from Valley Parade marks the end of his second spell with the Bantams. He featured eight times for the club, with starts against Stockport, Wimbledon, and Wycombe. His last appearance was off the bench at Barnsley, where the 10-man Tykes scored a stoppage-time equaliser.
What Comes Next?
Northampton boss Chris Hogg is optimistic about Evans' signing, citing his experience and leadership qualities. Evans will look to catch up on his fitness and make a positive impact for the Cobblers. With the new season just around the corner, Bradford City fans will be keeping a close eye on Evans' progress at Northampton.
