Northampton Town have signed Ipswich Town striker Dean Bowditch on a month's loan.

The 21-year-old forward has made over 75 appearances for the Tractor Boys, but has struggled to hold down a first-team place under current manager Jim Magilton.

Bowditch has spent time on loan at Burnley, Wycombe Wanderers and Brighton in recent seasons.

"Dean is a forward who looks to get in behind defences with his pace and he will give us that little bit of extra quality in the final third," manager Stuart Gray told the club's official website.

"He is very highly regarded by Jim Magilton at Ipswich and we are very grateful to Ipswich for letting him come out on loan to us.

"He could have just stayed on the bench at Ipswich, but full credit to him he wants to get some first-team football and we are delighted to give him that opportunity."
