Cobblers snap up Arsenal defender

The Cobblers have signed young Arsenal defender Paul Rodgers on a one month loan deal. The 19-Year-old can play in either the centre of defence or at right back and has been a reular in the Arsenal youth and reserve team set ups in the last few years after coming through the ranks.

Rodgers made his first team debut recently, in Arsenal's Carling Cup Quarter Final exit at Burnley and is highly rated by Arsene Wenger. He will go straight into the squad for Saturday's home game with Crewe Alexandra alongside fellow new signing Billy Clarke who arrived from Ipswich this week.
