Northampton sign Charlton's Taylor on loan

Terry Taylor began his career at Wolverhampton Wanderers

Northampton Town have signed Charlton Athletic midfielder Terry Taylor on loan for the rest of the season.

The 23-year-old joins a side currently 20th, but five points clear of the relegation places, in League One.

Taylor joined Charlton from Burton Albion in summer 2023 and has made 14 appearances this season, the most recent against Mansfield on 14 December.

"It's going to help with competition (for places). I thought we were a bit light in there. We've now got four midfielders who I can play against each other in training," boss Kevin Nolan told BBC Radio Northampton.

"I think he's going to be a great addition to the squad in terms of his character - he's a winner, he wants to prove something.

"He showed a real eagerness and desire to come and play for Northampton, play for me, and he's going to make the squad much better."

Taylor is Northampton's second signing of the January transfer window following former Fleetwood midfielder Liam Shaw, and he could make his Cobblers debut away to second-placed Wycombe Wanderers on Saturday.
