ACCRINGTON Stanley striker James Gray has joined Northampton Town on loan until the end of the season.

The 22-year-old joins the Reds' League Two rivals in search of regular first-team football, having not featured for John Coleman's side since their 5-1 defeat at the hands of the Cobblers on January 31.

Gray has scored five goals for Stanley this season but has fallen out of favour under Coleman recently.

Northampton are currently 10th in League Two, three points off the play-off positions.
