Loan Watch: Tuesday, 22nd November 2022

Here we take our latest look at how Walsall's loan stars are getting on during their spells away from Poundland Bescot Stadium.

Walsall defenders Joe Foulkes, Rollin Menayese, Peter Clarke, midfielders Sam Perry and Brendan Kiernan, strikers Timmy Abraham and Shay Willock, and scholars Dan Baldwin and Marvellous Onabirekhanlen are currently out on loan as they look to force their way into Michael Flynn's first-team plans.

Foulkes is enjoying a second spell with Kidderminster Harriers, whilst Menayese and Kiernan remained in League Two with season-long stays at Hartlepool United and Grimsby Town respectively, whilst Perry joined National League outfit Yeovil Town.

Abraham and Clarke recently joined Oldham Athletic, whilst second-year scholar Willock is on a short-term work experience loan with Hellenic League Premier Division side Worcester Raiders, as well as forming part of the Saddlers' youth team.

And finally, second-year scholars Baldwin and Onabirekhanlen recently joined Worcester City on initial one-month work experience loans.

Joe Foulkes started as Kidderminster made the short trip to the New Bucks Head to take on AFC Telford United on Tuesday evening.

Joe, who has been in fine form since returning from injury a few weeks ago, completed seventy-six minutes as his Harriers side mounted a second-half comeback to deny their hosts even a share of the spoils.

Trailing to Brendon Daniels' first-half penalty, goals from Zak Brown and former Walsall scholar Ethan Freemantle, the midfielder netting with just three-minutes of normal time remaining, saw Russ Penn's side take all three points.

Shay Willock was named in the starting XI as Worcester Raiders faced Calne Town in the Wiseman Lighting Floodlit Cup at Bremhill View.

Sadly, for Shay his team was unable to come away with the win as first-half goals from Nick Mills (4') and Jack Smith (42') were enough to secure the victory for the Wiltshire-based side.
