Reid All About It
Aidy Boothroyd will have new signing Paul Reid, a former Cobbler, available for selection after agreeing a deal until January for the 31-year-old.
Reid was a free agent after leaving Scunthorpe in the summer and played under Boothroyd at Colchester United.
Boothroyd told the club's official website: "Paul will add leadership qualities, an aggression and some depth to the back line."
