He’s today joined Chesterfield, where Jalal is the number one.

Coddington played five National League games in a 2016/17 loan spell at Wrexham, to cover for Jalal, who was out injured.

He also tasted National League action in the 2017/18 campaign, again with Wrexham and then with Guiseley.

His career began with Middlesbrough, who he joined at the age of nine, before a single year with Huddersfield Town.

He signed for Northampton in 2017 and made his debut in League One in August 2017.

Coddington was capped by England up to Under 19 level.
