Jack Vale Joins Northampton Town After Blackburn Exit
Former Blackburn Rovers striker Jack Vale has officially signed with Northampton Town, and it feels like a fresh chapter for a player who has been looking for stability in his career. At just 24 years old, Vale’s journey has already taken him through a number of clubs, both in England and Scotland, and now he’s been handed an opportunity to prove himself again in League One.
Vale came through Blackburn’s academy, which has been known for producing some talented players over the years. He broke into the first team and managed 27 appearances, scoring three goals. While those numbers may not jump off the page, the technical ability and promise he showed earned him several loan spells. Fans might remember him at clubs like Lincoln City, Halifax, Rochdale, Barrow, and most recently Motherwell, where he spent two separate stints in Scotland. Despite his hard work, his time at Blackburn came to an end last season when he was released.

Since then, Vale has been without a club. But he didn’t just sit still—he spent the past few weeks training with Northampton Town under manager Kevin Nolan. It wasn’t a rushed decision either. Nolan admitted that the club took their time because they wanted to make sure Vale was the right fit. Clearly, his performances and attitude in training made an impression, because Northampton have now signed him until the end of the season.
For Nolan, this move is about more than just adding depth. He sees Vale as someone who can bring something different to the attack and complement the other forwards in the squad. Nolan has praised his technical ability, noting that the talent is there—it’s now just about building his match fitness and confidence back up to the level needed for regular League One action.
This signing also highlights Northampton’s busy summer. Vale becomes the 16th addition to the squad, which shows just how much work has gone into reshaping the team. For a club looking to compete strongly in League One, bringing in players with both experience and potential is crucial.
From Vale’s perspective, this deal feels like a lifeline. To go from being released, to waiting for the right chance, and then finally securing a contract is no small relief. He’s joining a squad that already believes in him, and that could make all the difference in helping him rediscover his best form.
So, Northampton fans now have another name to look out for. Jack Vale may not have hit his full stride yet in professional football, but with a manager who trusts him and a team that’s building momentum, this could be the move that reignites his career.
