The first new addition of January was Rotherham United attacker Mickel Miller.
The signature of the 25 year old who can play either as a striker or out wide, ends a long pursuit of the player for manager Keith Curle, who has been a keen admirer of Miller’s capabilities.

In a successful two and a half years in Scotland, Miller made 68 appearances, scoring nine times, which included finishing as Hamilton’s top scorer in the 2018/19 Scottish Premiership season.

Aberdeen were keen to extend his stay after he spent the first half of this season on loan in the SPL but with a host of clubs interested in the former England under 19 international, he has made the move to the PTS Academy Stadium for the rest of the season.
January 18th saw the Cobblers welcome the third new addition of the window. Bryn Morris on loan from Portsmouth for the rest of the season.
24 year old Morris started his career with Middlesbrough and enjoyed loan spells with Burton Albion, Coventry City, York City and Walsall before joining Shrewsbury Town in January 2017.
In a two year spell at Shrewsbury he played 43 times, including in the 2017/18 League 1 play off semi finals and final as well as making another 21 appearances on loan at Wycombe Wanderers.
He joined Portsmouth for an undisclosed fee in January 2019 and has made 28 appearances for Pompey, eighteen of which have come this season. He played 90 minutes for Portsmouth in both legs of last season’s League 1 play off semi finals against Oxford United.
Morris has also represented England at under-16, under-17, under-18, and under-19 levels, captaining each of the age groups.
Harry Smith made a loan move to Scotland SPL side Motherwell. Smith has made the move for the rest of the season and manager Keith Curle said the deal is in the best interests of all parties.
The following day saw a Cobblers legend leave for league Two Side Oldham Athletic, 34 year old Adams made 63 appearances in his second spell with the club, but has found his opportunities a little more limited this season, starting ten games in Sky Bet League 1.
What seemed to be the final signing of the Window right sided defender Peter Kioso on loan from Luton Town for the rest of the season.
