Johnson joins on loan as Herbert signs on


Middlesbrough defender John Johnson has joined the Cobblers on a month's loan. Ian Sampson has used Malcolm Crosby's contact book to bring in the Boro man, who played in the side when Crosy was at the Riverside stadium last season. Johnson signed professional terms with Boro in 2008 and played numerous games in their Premier League campaign last season and also spent some time on loan at Tranmere Rovers.

He can play at right back or in midfield and should shake up a defense that has looked uncomfortable over the past few weeks. Johnson signs in time for Saturday's trip to Shrewsbury Town.

The Cobblers have also revealed that striker Courtney Herbert has signed with the club after a trial with the club. Herbert joins from local side Long Buckby.
