Chairman David Cardoza had promised that caretaker manager Andy King would be able to strengthen in the transfer window even if he did not land the job permanently and on the first day for transfers two new strikers have arrived at Sixfields.
Everton youngster Hallam Hope and Gillingham's Antonio German have signed one month loan deals as King aims to solve the problem of Northampton's lack of firepower this season.
The duo arrive as Izale McLeod returns to MK Dons ahead of the expiry of his loan deal after sustaining a thigh injury.
***Update 2nd January*** Another busy day for Town as their January reshuffle gathers pace. With striker Roy O'Donovan in talks over a potential move to Dubai, injury has cut short Luke Norris's loan spell with the club and Matt Heath has also left Sixfields after the expiry of his short term contract.
