Northampton Town have signed Stoke City winger Ben Marshall on a 3 month loan deal, subject to approval from the Premier League.

Marshall, 18, who can play on either wing or up front, joined Stoke from Crewe Alexandra earlier this summer.

"We have watched Ben play in pre-season and we were very impressed," said boss Stuart Gray.

"He can play on either flank and he both creates and scores goals. He has got a fantastic delivery on him, he is a real threat with the quality he has and we are pleased to have him here for 3 months.

"He has a lot of ability and talent and I am sure he can make a difference to us. We are grateful for Tony Pulis for allowing us to borrow him and hopefully he will benefit from his time here."
