Northampton Town signed central defender Scott Wharton on a season long loan from Blackburn Rovers.
21 year old Wharton played for two of last season’s promoted sides, making 16 appearances for Lincoln City in the first half of the campaign, before joining Bury in the January transfer window and playing a further 15 times as the two clubs he represented finished first and second in League 2. Wharton has made 64 senior appearances, scoring seven goals.
He spent the first half of the season on loan at Sky Bet League champions Lincoln City, and the second half of the campaign at Bury, who finished runners-up.
The Blackburn-born youngster made 16 appearances for Lincoln, and 15 for Bury.
Wharton made three appearances against the Cobblers, starting for Lincoln on the first day of the season at the PTS Academy Stadium, and then playing for the Shakers in their 3-1 win over Town at Gigg Lane in April.
He was also a late Imps substitute in their 3-2 FA Cup first round success over Keith Curle's men in November.
Wharton will wear squad number 16.
