Fulham forward Kieron Bowie has returned to Northampton on a season-long loan.

Bowie, 20, helped Northampton win promotion to League One last season.

"He is a key signing for us. We know exactly what we are getting and Kieron knows what his role is and what we expect from him," said boss Jon Brady.

"We feel Kieron improved as a player during his time with us last season and we are delighted he will be back to continue that development with us in League One.

"He is a popular figure both in the dressing room and amongst the fans and it is great news that he will be back at Sixfields. The fact that a Premier League club like Fulham are willing to send Kieron back to us is a big compliment to both the club and the environment we have created."
