Loan Watch: Tuesday, 18th October 2022

Here we take our latest look at how Walsall's loan stars are getting on.

Walsall defender Rollin Menayese, midfielders Sam Perry and Brendan Kiernan, and young striker Shay Willock are currently out on loan as they look to force their way into Michael Flynn's first-team plans.

Rollin Menayese and Brendan Kiernan remained in League Two with season-long stays at Hartlepool United and Grimsby Town respectively, whilst Sam Perry joined National League outfit Yeovil Town.

Second-year scholar Shay 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.

Sam Perry was an unused substitute as Yeovil took on Taunton Town in their Emirates FA Cup - Fourth Round Qualifying replay on Tuesday evening.

With a place against Milton Keynes Dons in the First Round (proper) up for grabs, the match was a nervy affair with the first goal arriving midway through the first-half as Peacocks midfielder Lloyd James netted from the penalty spot.

That proved to be the only goal of the game as the Glovers fell at the final hurdle and, as a result, miss out on a potentially lucrative clash with a League One team.

Meanwhile, Rollin Menayese wasn't involved as Hartlepool United crashed out of the Papa John's Trophy on goal difference thanks to a six-nil drubbing by Everton Under-21s, the heavy reverse seeing Pools sit at the foot of their group.
