Northampton Town have strengthened their squad by signing former Wycombe Wanderers winger Ikechi Anya on a short-term contract.

The 21-year-old joined the youth team at Adams Park in the 2003-4 season after being released by Oxford, and agreed a two-year deal in June 2005.

"He has been training with us for a couple of weeks," explained Cobblers manager Stuart Gray.

"He is a wide player with pace and can go past people," he added.

"He has been used mainly as an impact player from the bench in his career so far, and will give us an extra option."

The Cobblers entertain local rivals Milton Keynes Dons on Tuesday night after claiming a crucial 1-0 victory at fellow League One strugglers Cheltenham at the weekend.
