Jordan Turnbull: Northampton Town sign Coventry City defender

Jordan Turnbull started his career at Southampton and has had two loan spells at Swindon

Northampton Town have signed defender Jordan Turnbull from League Two side Coventry City on a two-and-a-half-year deal, initially on a free transfer.

The 23-year-old centre-back was recalled from loan with Scottish Premier League side Partick Thistle on Wednesday to complete the transfer.

He boosts the Cobblers' options with Aaron Pierre out until mid-April.

"The last two days it's come about. We've made it happen really quickly," Turnbull told BBC Radio Northampton.

"The manager (Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink) ringing up and asking for me was a massive bonus and something that really drove me to come here."

Coventry have also allowed young goalkeeper Corey Addai to join Isthmian League Premier Division side Hendon on a month's youth loan until 10 February.
