Twelve months on, where are those players now?
1. Fraser Horsfall
Chose to leave Cobblers for Stockport last summer and he's set for a third straight season in League Two after County lost out to Town in the race for automatic promotion. The Hatters were then beaten on penalties in the play-off final at Wembley. Horsfall made 38 appearances in 2022/23. Photo: Pete Norton
2. Liam Roberts
Named Cobblers' Player of the Season last year and understandably made the decision to reject a new deal and sign for Middlesbrough. It's been a frustrating season though, making only five appearances in all competitions and playing second fiddle to Man City loanee Zack Steffen Photo: Pete Norton
3. Benny Ashley-Seal
Released by Cobblers last summer after a fairly miserable spell at the club. Joined Scottish Championship side Hamilton Academical in March, making nine appearances and scoring once, after a brief spell in Finland Photo: Pete Norton
4. Danny Rose
A promotion-winner with Stevenage having joined the club shortly after leaving Sixfields. Was retained by Boro at the end of the season but has this week joined Grimsby Town on a two-year deal Photo: Pete Norton
