The versatile 24-year-old, a boyhood Coventry fan who came through City’s academy and played 20 senior games for the club before being released earlier this week, has signed an initial two-year deal at Sixfields. The Scotsman has primarily played as a right-back or wing-back in the last couple of years, but he can also play on the left and in midfield.
Burroughs joined the Sky Blues when he was eight years old and became the club’s first player born this century when he made his EFL Trophy debut at the age of 17.
The majority of his career has come on loan, with 18 appearances for Ross County, 35 for Lincoln in League One, and 14 appearances for Kilmarnock last season, 12 of which were in the Scottish Premiership. His loan was terminated, and he played for Coventry Under-21s in the second part of the season, making the bench for a few of Championship games.
Burroughs was born in England but represents Scotland at international level, having played for both the Under-19s and Under-21s, gaining eight caps in each.
