Albion midfielder Marc Leonard has signed on loan with Northampton for the season.

The Scotland under-21 international joins the Cobblers as they prepare to open their League Two season at home to Colchester.

Albion’s pathway development manager Gordon Greer said: “This is Marc’s first loan away, so we’re looking forward to seeing how he progresses and develops his game.

“We will monitor his development and we wish him well for the campaign.”

Leonard, 20, has played for Albion in the Carabao Cup as well as being on the bench in ten Premier League matchday squads.
