Veteran midfielder joins in loan deal

Northampton have snapped up Bristol City midfielder Alex Russell on a month's loan. The 34-year-old was part of the Robins side promoted to the Championship last season. "Alex has quality and will bring some experience to the squad," said Cobblers boss Stuart Gray. "He has been there and done it at this level and he will be a big help to the young players we have here. "He is a winner and has tasted success at this level as recently as last season, playing a big part in Bristol City's promotion. "He is still very fit and is a very good passer of the ball. He has a wealth of experience and that is something we have been keen to add to the squad." Meanwhile, Town winger Sam Aiston has joined Burton on a two-month loan deal.
