That was a big plus for me to sign and to be on board again.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve got the quality and the set up and hopefully we can push on.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Hoskins&#8217; Career Statistics<\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s been quite a journey for Sam Hoskins. He began his career at <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/southampton\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Southampton<\/a>, where he only made four appearances, all coming in the domestic cup competitions.<\/p>\n<p>He had brief stints at Preston North End, Rotherham United and Stevenage, before signing for <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/category\/league-football\/championship\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Championship<\/a> new boys Yeovil Town, who would go on to get relegated that season.<\/p>\n<p>But he was released in 2015 later as the Glovers suffered back-to-back relegations. He was spotted by then-Cobblers manager Chris Wilder, who signed him after a successful trial with the club.<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s been at the club ever since and has enjoyed a successful period with them. He has scored on 32 occasions and won the League Two title as a player in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>Hoskins was also instrumental at Sixfields this season. He was his side&#8217;s top goalscorer with 11 goals and provided six assists as they won the League Two Play-Offs.<\/p>\n<p>The ex-Saints man will now venture with Northampton back into League One.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"wnDFQupCTvFZd-FkPE-3TA\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1223486315\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'wnDFQupCTvFZd-FkPE-3TA',sig:'mgCb5v_VC0VFhWS4v7HvcfIkQYEEH4KDy0FMzggPNNg=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1223486315',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Northampton Town midfielder Sam Hoskins has signed a new deal with the club.
