Izzy's Story

Izzy started with the Girls PDC (Player Development Centre) programme at Northampton Town in 2024. She settled in quickly and developed into a dedicated and positive team player. In the summer of 2024, Izzy was recommended by her coach to attend trials for the ETC (Emerging Talent Centre) programme. We saw straight away she had tenacity and had the willingness learn and develop technically.  

After a successful trial Izzy was accepted into the ETC programme for the 24/25 season. She settled in with the group immediately and instantly made friends. You can tell whenever she is at the ETC it is her happy place and she loves it here. Her coaches, Toby and Harry have built a really good coach-player relationship with her where she is even willing to stay behind and help with equipment. Izzy has engaged well with the ETC practices and also attended the recent NTFC Community Trust Girls Football event at Goals Centre, where the player stated she won "Player Award from her Team". 

2025 EFL AWARDS: NORTHAMPTON TOWN WIN EFL GREEN CLUB AWARD

Northampton Town have won the EFL Green Club Award, sponsored by IMG, at the 2025 EFL Awards ceremony in London.

The EFL’s Green Club Award recognises a club that has developed an environmentally conscious campaign, project, or initiative. This could be a matchday initiative, an internal staff project or a community programme.

Northampton Town’s ‘Cobblers Tackle Food Waste’ - a community driven initiative led by Northampton Town Community Trust and supported by the Eat It Up Fund – saw them take home the accolade. 

The project aims to improve people’s understanding of how to reduce levels of food waste across Northamptonshire. It reached thousands of participants through blended education, gamification and community outreach. 

The project has had a positive environmental impact on the local area having generated an 11% rise in food caddy usage since launching. 

On winning the award, Lorna Stockwell from the Northampton Town Community Trust said: “I’m speechless to be honest but it was an amazing project. It was a groundbreaking project, we went into schools and across a 12 month period the impact was huge.”

COMMUNITY TRUST AND FAN ADVISORY BOARD LOOKING TO FACILITATE FORMATION OF AN LGBTQ+ FAN GROUP

The Northampton Town Community Trust and the club's Fan Advisory Board are looking to help facilitate the formation of an LGBTQ+ Cobblers Fan Group.

The idea is to put supporters who wish to be members of the group in touch, for the group to then become a fan led organisation that will feed in to and form part of the Fan Advisory Board.
