Following the news that he'd agreed a deal to remain with the club for the remainder of the season, on-loan Southampton defender Jason McCarthy has spoken to club journalists and discussed his delight as he looks to make the most of his spell of first-team football.
Speaking via Saddlers.co.uk, Jason said; "I’m absolutely delighted to be staying here until end of the season. It’s been a really good first half of the season for me and I’ve learned a lot.
"It was a step up from last season, coming to League One, and the game at Oxford yesterday was my 30th since coming here. I haven’t missed a minute so I really couldn’t have asked for any more.
"The gaffer has shown real faith in me and I can’t thank him enough for that. The fans and staff have been brilliant as well so I feel very lucky.
"I’m really enjoying the right-back role and I’m just concentrating on getting a consistency to my performances. I want to keep giving everything for the team and hopefully we can push up the table."
