Central defender Prosser, who has signed on loan until the end of the season from Southend United, and former Oxford United midfielder Rose, brought in on a short-term contract last week, both got through 90 minutes of the 1-1 draw.

The pair were both named on the bench for last Saturday’s Sky Bet League Two clash with York City, but weren’t required in the 2-0 victory.

Sam Hoskins, another unused substitute from the weekend, scored the Northampton goal as they drew with the Molineux club.

“It was a good competitive game,” said Cobblers assistant boss Alan Knill.

“Luke and Danny both played the full 90 minutes, and it was a good chance for us to give some of the other players in the squad a run out as well.

“The players showed a great attitude as always and this was a really good workout for us.

“We’ve got a busy schedule of Saturday Tuesday games coming up over the next few weeks and it’s important that everybody in the squad is fit and ready.”
