Alex Nicholls recalled from loan spell by Northampton Town

Forward to rejoin Cobblers

Northampton Town have confirmed that they have triggered their 24-hour loan recall option on forward Alex Nicholls, meaning he will return to Sixfields imminently.

Nicholls featured six times for the Grecians during his loan spell, and scored a winner away at Cambridge United – his first competitive goal since returning from a long-term spell on the sidelines.

Most recently he won a late penalty for Exeter against Dagenham & Redbridge, helping to trigger City’s fightback and win at Victoria Road.

Everyone at Exeter City would like to pass thanks to Alex for his service during his time at St James Park, and wish him all the very best for the future.
