Northampton Town have signed Ross County captain Jack Baldwin for an undisclosed fee.

The former Hartlepool, Peterborough, Sunderland and Bristol Rovers defender has agreed a two-year deal at Sixfields.

He made 102 appearances in three seasons with County and helped them retain their Scottish Premiership status in May with a play-off victory over Raith Rovers.

"Jack is a real leader, an organiser and someone we are delighted to welcome to the club," said Northampton boss Jon Brady.

"He is a brave defender, someone who wins his fair share of tackles and blocks, but he can play too."

Northampton have now made five signings since their 10th-place table finish in League One last term.

They will start the new campaign with an away game against one of Baldwin's former clubs, Bristol Rovers, on 10 August.
