The Brazilian-led consortium completed its takeover last month and have spent recent weeks reviewing the club's various departments and identifying areas for change. A new head of recruitment is expected to be announced shortly as part of that process.

Latimer first joined Northampton in October 2016 as head of performance analysis. He held this role for five years before becoming the club’s first ever recruitment analyst, holding the title of head strategic and recruitment analyst. He then moved on to become the head of recruitment in November 2023.

A club statement on Monday afternoon confirmed: “As new custodians of Northampton Town, Sports Alpha Capital have spent the first five weeks listening, observing and speaking to people across the club, forming an assessment of where the club is, where it needs extra support and what needs to be done.

“Following this initial assessment, Sports Alpha Capital are beginning to implement changes to strengthen the club and support its long-term ambitions.

“As part of this process, Northampton Town Football Club have parted company with head of recruitment Alex Latimer. Everyone at the club would like to thank Alex for his time at the club and wish him every success for the future.

“A new head of recruitment will be announced in due course as part of the wider process of rebuilding the club’s recruitment department.”
