Two out, one in for Town on Loan Deadline Day!

The Cobblers have had a busy day today as the loan transfer window closed.

Out goes James Quinn in a bizarre move to League One leaders Scunthorpe United. Yesterday, Quinn was named in the Northern Ireland squad for the upcoming European Championship qualifiers and today he heads north to join the front runners of the league. Why on earth Scunny are taking a man who struggles to get into our reserve team on loan will be a question on many fans lips this evening!

Jerome Watt has also gone out for his second loan spell of the season as he joins Salisbury City. Watt, who was previously on loan at Morecombe, joins the Conference South promotion hopefuls for a month.

Meanwhile, heading into Sixfields is 19-year-old striker Simon Cox on a month long loan from Reading. Stuart Gray swooped for the Royal's man, who can also play in midfield, after letting Quinn go out to Scunthorpe this morning. If he's anything as good as fellow Reading loanee Alex Pearce, he'll be most welcome and should provide good competition for forward places as the season draws to a close.
