Cobblers extend Thornton contract

Last updated : 19 May 2010 By BBC Sport

The 23-year-old joined the Cobblers from Nuneaton Town in January on a short-term basis.

Manager Ian Sampson told the club website: "It is clear that he has a lot of talent and a lot of ability.

"The challenge for Kevin is to show that on a consistent basis next season. If he can do that, we will have a very good player on our hands."

He added: "We will get a good pre-season into him and that will certainly benefit him. He didn't have a pre-season last year and that always makes things hard for any player.

"He knows we are giving him a big opportunity and he is determined to make the most of that."
