Defender joins up with Wrexham
Northampton Town defender David Artell has joined Blue Square Premier leaders Wrexham on loan until the end of the season, subject to international clearance.
Artell has not featured for the Cobblers since early October having undergone surgery for an Achilles injury.
"David has found his opportunities limited," said boss Aidy Boothroyd.
"He is fit again now and he needs to be playing regular football. We have a lot of competition for places in defence and it won't do David any good to be sat on the bench. He hasn’t played for almost 5 months and he needs games between now and the end of the season.
"This move frees up another position in the squad should we need it moving towards the loan deadline in the next few weeks.
"Wrexham are local to where David lives so it is a logical move for all parties."
The Cobblers have a recall option on Artell after the first 28 days as per registration rules.
