Former Blackburn Rovers striker, Jack Vale, has signed for Northampton Town.

The 24-year-old has been without a club since leaving Ewood Park in the summer. Vale had two spells in Scotland with Motherwell before leaving Rovers at the end of last season.

He has been training with the League One Cobblers for a number of weeks and has done enough to earn himself a deal.

"We are delighted to have Jack on board," said boss Kevin Nolan.

"We have taken our time over this move because we wanted to make sure we got the right one in, but Jack is someone who has been on our radar for a while.

"He has been in training with us over the last few weeks and he has done well.

"You can see he will add something different for us and be a good foil for the other attacking players we have.

"Jack was highly rated at Blackburn and you can see the technical ability he has. We feel he can help us and we can help him.

"There is no doubting his ability, what we need to do is build his game time up to get him to the levels of the rest of the squad but we are sure he will be a good addition for us."
