Northampton Town sign Hallam Hope, Antonio German on loan

Northampton Town have agreed month-long loan deals for Everton striker Hallam Hope and Gillingham forward Antonio German.

Hope, who joined the Toffees from Manchester City in 2005, was a key figure as the Merseyside club won the academy title in 2010-11 and was awarded a two-year contract by the Goodison Park outfit in September.

The Everton youngster has also represented England at schoolboy and Under-19 level.

German, 22, joins the League Two strugglers on a temporary deal, having moved to Gillingham in the summer from Brentford.
