Northampton Town have signed Fulham striker Kieron Bowie on loan for the new League Two season.
The 19-year-old started his career in Scotland with Raith Rovers before joining the Cottagers for a six-figure sum three years ago.
Bowie is the Cobblers' second signing in 24 hours after defender Harvey Lintott joined on a one-year deal.
The 19-year-old began his senior career with Gillingham but was released by the club at the end of last season.
Lintott, whose deal has the option for a further 12 months, had spent time with Northampton on trial and has featured in their pre-season friendlies against Nottingham Forest, St Mirren and Dundee United.
"He has fitted in well and we have been impressed with what we have seen," boss Jon Brady told the club's website.
Bowie, meanwhile, scored 10 goals in 39 games for Raith before helping Fulham's under-18 side win the Premier League South title in 2021 and their under-23s clinch the Premier League 2 crown last season.
"Kieron is quick, very good technically and a bright and clever player," Brady added.
"He has an excellent scoring record for a young striker and our reputation for being a club that improves players helped us win the race for his signature."
