Recently-fired Leicester City goalkeeper Adam Smith signs a two-year deal with League Two side Northampton Town.

Northampton Town have announced that they have signed recently-fired Leicester City goalkeeper Adam Smith on a two-year contract.

The 22-year-old was one of three players released by the Foxes earlier this month following an incident during the club's post-season tour in Thailand.

Manager Chris Wilder told the club's website: "I'm aware that this signing will create debate. Adam was involved in an incident at Leicester was very wrong and he knows that better than anyone. He paid a price for that, he has apologised and is ashamed of what happened.

"But, we also live in a society where, as long as people show genuine remorse, admit their mistake, learn from it and apologise then they deserve a second chance. Adam knows that and he is determined to take this chance. He is a very good goalkeeper, and one who needs to be in and around a first team place to push himself forward and I am sure he will prove a good addition."

Smith added: "I got myself in a situation I am deeply ashamed of, and I am desperately sorry for that. I am really sorry for what I was involved in but I need to put that stupid mistake behind me. I am really grateful for the second chance I have been offered here and I am determined to make the most of it."

Smith, Tom Hopper and James Pearson all had their contracts terminated after footage emerged of the trio engaging in an orgy with racist undertones.
