Walsall defenders Joe Foulkes and Rollin Menayese and midfielders Sam Perry and Brendan Kiernan are currently away on loan as they look to force their way into Michael Flynn's first-team plans.
Foulkes is enjoying a second spell with Vanarama National League North with Kidderminster Harriers, whilst Menayese is with the Saddlers' League Two rivals Hartlepool United.

Sam Perry recently made the move to National League outfit Yeovil Town, as Brendan Kiernan joined newly-promoted League Two side Grimsby Town.
After sitting out the Mariners' victor over Walsall at the weekend, Brendan Kiernan was named in the starting eleven as they made the trip to Pride Park to take on Derby County in their opening Papa John's Trophy - Northern Group F outing of the season.
Unfortunately for Grimsby, and despite Brendan grabbing a goal with two-minutes of normal time remaining, they were unable to open their campaign with a win as first-half goals from Nathaniel Mendez-Laing, Louie Sibley, and Max Bird saw the hosts secure the win.
Rollin Menayese also returned to the starting line-up as Hartlepool played host to Harrogate Town in Northern Group A of the Papa John's Trophy.
The defender, who has been part of a struggling Pool outfit which failed to win any of their six opening league games of the season, was finally part of a winning side as a Mikael Ndjoli brace saw them start the tournament with a win.
