Lee Fowler has joined Kettering Town. Fowler came through City Academy ranks and made 14 appearances for the Sky Blues before a court case saw his career take a nosedive. He had played for Huddersfield Town and last season was at Forest Green Rovers.
Fowler has joined The Poppies on a two year deal and told The Northamptonshire Evening Telegraph: "I like getting on the ball and setting things up by making tackles and playing from deep. "Then I can join in further forward.
"Everyone here has to look to improve themselves. After finishing eighth, we should be going for the play-offs."

"I have got a team together willing to come with me if I got the job. "One is a former team-mate of mine and Ron Atkinson is a former Premier League manager with one of the best clubs in the division with a wealth of experience."
