Coke comes to Sixfields

Coke, 21, has rejected the offer of a new deal at Field Mill and has agreed a two-year contract with the Cobblers.

Having begun his career as a trainee at QPR, had a spell at Kingstonian and then joined Mansfield in March 2005.

Although Coke is out of contract, the Stags are entitled to a fee as he is under 24 - and that will be decided by a Football League tribunal.

He has made 70 league appearances for the Stags.

Northampton boss Stuart Gray has taken Northern Ireland international striker Andy Kirk off the transfer list.

"I have told hium that it is a fresh start and a clean slate for everyone," Gray told the Cobblers' website.

"I inherited the situation with Andy, but I have told him that what happened last season is in the past. I want Andy to feel settled and wanted."
