Northampton Town boss Keith Curle is happy with their loan deal for Leeds United striker Ryan Edmondson.

The Cobblers are 19th in League One and battling against the drop back into League Two, but have been swift in adding players this January transfer window.

Curle told the Northampton Chronicle and Echo: "Ryan [is] an all-action player and he won't shy away from the physical side of the game, but he can score goals as well.

"He's got a work ethic and a desire to work.

"He wants to score goals so he gets himself into the action areas in the middle of the goal but he's also happy to get involved physically so he can be a focal point that we can play through."
