Northampton Town Sign 23-Year-Old Midfielder On Loan From Charlton

Northampton Town have announced the signing of midfielder Terry Taylor on loan from Charlton Athletic.

The 23-year-old will join the Cobblers on loan for the remainder of the current season, with the move making him the second signing made by Northampton this January after the previous arrival of Liam Shaw earlier this month.

Taylor’s arrival sees him join the Cobblers from their fellow League One side, with Taylor having joined the South London-based side from Burton Albion in 2023 and made 14 appearances in all competitions so far this season.

Before joining Charlton, Taylor had made 69 appearances in all competitions in 3 years with Burton, while he also played EFL football for Grimsby in a loan from Wolves when registered to the latter’s academy. He has been capped by Scotland at under-17 and under-18 level, before choosing to represent Wales at under-21 level instead.

The move was completed earlier this week, with Taylor available to feature for the Cobblers in their match at Wycombe tomorrow (25/01).

Northampton manager Kevin Nolan voiced his delight to the club’s official website to get in ahead of rivals for his signature and bring him to Sixfields.

He said, “There has been a lot of interest in him and a lot of clubs have been linked with him, but he has chosen Northampton Town and that’s fantastic.

“We think he can come in and help us. He is a very good passer of the ball, he can create things, he can get around the pitch well and he enjoys a tackle and that side of the game too.

“Our thanks are due to the Board of Directors again for backing us in the transfer market. This is a signing we are delighted to make and a step in the right direction for us.”
