Northampton Town sign Man City youngster Emyr Huws

Northampton Town have signed young Manchester City midfielder Emyr Huws on loan until 5 January.

The 19-year-old has been capped four times for Wales Under-19s and seven times for the Under-17s.

He joined City from Swansea in 2009 and has since become captain of the under-21s at the Etihad Stadium.

"Emyr comes straight into contention for the game against Exeter on Saturday," said Northampton manager Aidy Boothroyd.

"He is someone I think will make a big difference to our squad.

"Emyr will benefit from being with us and we will certainly benefit from having Emyr in our squad."

Boothroyd has been short on midfield options with Luke Guttridge and Ben Harding both sideined by injury.
