Loan Watch: Saturday, 15th February 2025

Here's our latest look at how the loaned-out Saddlers are getting on.

There are a handful of Saddlers currently out on loan, with players from the academy and first-team looking to impress and potentially force their way into Mat Sadler's first-team plans.

Jenson Kilroy • Stratford Town

Jenson started as Stratford Town made their way to Kirby Road and took on Barwell on Saturday afternoon.

Sadly for the Bards, and despite Lewis Ison's 66th minute goal, efforts from Ashley Chambers and Tyrell Waite proved to be enough to seal the points for Barwell.

Tom Owen • Dudley Town

Tom featured as the Robins visited the GAM Civils Stadium and took on Atherstone Town in the Midland League - Premier Division.

Despite another goal from Matt Funge, Dudley didn't take anything from the game as goals from Jacob Shilton and Ryan Harkin saw the Adders home to victory.

Dylan Thomas • Redditch United

Dylan was named on the bench as Redditch United took on AFC Telford United at the SEAH Stadium.

It was another disappointing afternoon for a loaned-out Saddler, as a Matty Stenson brace proved to be enough to make Jack Kelly's late goal a mere consolation as the Reds slipped to defeat.

Dylan was one of a raft of Redditch changes with sixty-six minutes on the clock as he replaced Nick Clayton-Phillips.

Ronan Maher • Tamworth

Ronan started as Tamworth made their way to Laithwaite Community Stadium and took on Woking in the National League.

Following a goalless first-half, the deadlock was broken in the second forty-five as substitute Inih Effiong scored from the spot.

Tamworth levelled the scores with just two minutes of normal time remaining as Kyle Finn, who had replaced Ronan nine minutes earlier, put his side back into the game.

Charlie Wragg • Halesowen Town

Charlie was a late substitute as Halesowen Town and Alvechurch played out a two-all draw on Saturday afternoon.

Goals from Conor Tee and Kieren Donnelly had put Halesowen into a two goal lead, but efforts from Dan Sweeney and Krystian Pearce, the latter coming after Ryan Wynter was red carded for Town, saw the spoils shared.

Coming on for McKauley Manning with just ten minutes of the game remaining, Charlie didn't add his name to the scoresheet as his stop start spell with the Yeltz continues.
