4. Danny Rose - Mansfield to Northampton
No, not the former Pompey midfielder. Instead, it's the Stags' former striker. The 26-year-old has joined the Cobblers for an undisclosed fee on a two-year deal. He scored 38 goals in 141 league appearances for Mansfield after joining from Bury in 2016. Picture: Pete Norton/Getty Images Photo: Pete Norton
