Northampton Town have signed centre-half Luke Mbete on a season-long loan from Premier League champions Manchester City.
The 21-year-old began his career at Brentford before joining City and made his debut in the EFL Cup in 2021.
An England Under-21 international, Mbete spent loan spells at Bolton and Huddersfield in the Championship before playing last season for Den Bosch in the Dutch second division.
"He fits our profile, he has a lot of attributes as a brave defender but also an intelligent footballer who is comfortable on the ball,” manager John Brady told the club website., external
