Northampton Town have signed French striker Boris Mathis on loan from Everton until the end of the season.

The 20-year-old joined the Premier League side in July from Metz, where he made two substitute appearances in Ligue 1 last term.

He came through Lyon's academy and is the eighth signing of the transfer window for the League One Cobblers.

"I want to come to prove and show Everton I can play in the first team," Mathis told BBC Radio Northampton.

"I'm fast and have good finishing, but I need to practise everything to be better."
