Cobblers boss Curle told the Northampton Chronicle and Echo: "I am delighted to bring Chris to the club.”

"I think his attributes will really help us. He has a lot of experience and he also has a lot quality on the ball and can help to unlock defences. He is a very cultured player.

"He is a midfielder who can create chances and set things up. He also has a quality set play delivery."

Lines made 53 appearances for Wednesday in a two-year spell at the club, scoring three goals.
