Northampton Town parts ways with head of recruitment Alex Latimer

Summary

Northampton Town has dismissed head of recruitment Alex Latimer after an initial assessment by the club's new owners, Sports Alpha Capital. Latimer had been with the club for over 10 years and was promoted to his current role in November 2023. The new ownership group's review comes as Northampton struggles at 21st in League Two, following a last-place finish in League One last season. Sports Alpha Capital, which acquired a 70% stake in September 2026, is planning further changes to strengthen the recruitment department. A new head of recruitment will be announced soon, as the club looks to rebuild under its new leadership.
