Northampton Town vs Bradford AFC - Loan duo added to Northampton squad

Posted Monday, January 02, 2017 by PA

Northampton will have new signings Gregg Wylde and Hiram Boateng available for the visit of Bradford.

Winger Wylde arrives on loan from Millwall and midfielder Boateng joins from Crystal Palace.

Striker Sam Hoskins will be assessed on a hamstring problem which ruled him out of the defeat at Sheffield United on New Year's Eve.

Defender Brendan Moloney (knee) and forward JJ Hooper (thigh) continue their recoveries, while midfielder Joel Byrom has left the Cobblers to join Mansfield.

Bradford boss Stuart McCall will make several changes following Saturday's home draw against Bury.

McCall has no new injury worries but the likes of defenders Stephen Darby and James Meredith, plus midfielder Timothee Dieng and striker Marc McNulty could all be handed starts.

Winger Filipe Morais will be assessed after missing out against the Shakers due to a muscle strain and striker Billy Clarke remains sidelined having been out since November with a calf injury.

McCall's side, fifth in the table, are bidding for their first win in six league games and have drawn their last four.
