NORTHAMPTON players have been warned they face the axe if caught breaking Covid-19 protocols.

Saints boss Chris Boyd said his stars were constantly reminded of their responsibility to keep the virus out of the club and said that “100 per cent” anyone stepping out of line will be excluded.

The town recorded the highest rate of new coronavirus cases in England this week.

“This is a serious issue and we can’t afford to be sloppy and lazy in any way,” Boyd said.
