Arsenal defender Paul Rodgers has won a one-year deal with Northampton.

The 19-year-old made one first-team appearance for Arsenal but spent the second half of last season on loan at Sixfields, making 11 appearances.

Manager Stuart Gray told the club's website: "We have plenty of experience in defence and Paul's pace will offer a good blend.

"He has all the attributes to become a very good player."

Rodgers will officially become a Cobblers player on August 1.
