Northampton Town have signed midfielder Kyle McAdam and defender Ben Hammond on loan from Nottingham Forest.

The pair, both 21, have joined the Cobblers for the rest of the season as they look to preserve their League One status.

McAdam made 14 appearances during a loan spell at Mansfield Town in the first half of the season, 10 of them in the third tier, including three starts.

"He can play as a number 10, or anywhere down the left hand side and he has a wonderful left foot," said boss Kevin Nolan.

Hammond also has yet to appear for Forest's first team but has played nine games for their under-21s in the EFL Trophy.

"He comes here with a similar profile to Ben Perry last season and he is one we are possibly looking at beyond the next few months," Nolan said of the Wales Under-21 international.
