Ahead of today's game at The Macron, here's a look at the career so far of current Northampton Town and former Bolton Wanderers striker, Keshi Anderson.
When we played Northampton at Sixfields back in November, I wrote about former Wanderer and Town player, Phil Neal. You can read that (if you want to) by clicking here.
Keshi Anderson, born 6th April 1995, got his start in football playing for Watford FC's academy. After being released, Anderson moved to non-league side Barton Rovers in 2013.
At Rovers, who play in the seventh tier of English football, Keshi Anderson managed an impressive 32 goals in 53 games. Due to his impressive form, Anderson earned a trial with Championship side Brentford.
It was whilst playing for Brentford that Anderson caught the eye of Premier League side Crystal Palace. In a friendly against the Eagles, Anderson scored a six minute hat trick, prompting the side to sign him from Barton for £30,000. Sidenote: 'member when Owen Coyle signed Tom Eaves for the exact same reason back in 2010 (but for ten times the cost of Anderson)?
Keshi Anderson got his first taste of league football in September 2015, when he joined then League One side Doncaster Rovers on loan. Anderson managed to scored three times in nine games, but unfortunately he suffered a broken leg on the 21st November in a game against Rochdale.
Keshi's next first team stint would come during a loan spell at The Macron with Bolton Wanderers. Keshi joined Wanderers on deadline day 2016 to replace the outgoing Kaiyne Woolery.
Anderson hit the ground running and scored on his debut for Bolton. Keshi scored a Nat Lofthouse-esque goal to rescue a point for Wanderers against Southend United.
Keshi wouldn't score again for Bolton in a further nine appearances.
In January 2017, Anderson left Wanderers to join fellow League One side and today's opponents, Northampton Town.
On his home debut for The Cobblers, Anderson scored a hat trick in a 3-0 win against Coventry City. Anderson hasn't scored since, and has so far played nine times in total for Northampton.
Anderson will more than likely play his tenth game for Northampton at The Macron today, and will be joined by fellow former Wanderers Matt Taylor and Gregg Wylde.
