Video: Saddlers sign Boro's Bryn Morris

Walsall have bolstered their ranks by snapping up promising midfielder Bryn Morris on a two-month loan from Middlesbrough.

The talented 19-year-old is well known to boss Sean O'Driscoll who worked with him while manager of England under-19s.

Morris enjoyed a loan spell at Burton Albion last season where then Brewers manager Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink described him as having a "very bright future" in the game following his impressive displays.

The youngster was signed on a season long loan by Coventry at the start of this campaign but was recalled to Middlesbrough in October.

He then joined York in a temporary move where he played in the FA Cup against Accrington – making him ineligible for Saddlers clash with Reading on Saturday.

"I'm really happy to be here," said Morris.

"I've obviously worked with Sean before and he's got a really good philosophy.

"I loved playing for him and we had some really good results with England.

"When I spoke to him he said it's the clubs philosophy to give young players a chance.

"So that's good for me and shows young players that there is a pathway through the system."

The Hartlepool-born Midfielder joined Middlesborough's Academy at the age of seven and progressed through the ranks to sign professional forms in 2013.

He made his senior debut in an FA Cup tie against Hastings United before appearing for the first time in the League in a 2-0 defeat to Sheffield Wednesday at the end of the 2012/13 campaign.

"I'm a ball-playing midfielder with lots of energy who likes to start the play off," he added.

"I'm looking forward to working hard on the training pitch and to try and get in the team.

"I want to play as much football as I can.

"I know I'm joining a winning team so obviously I'm not just going to walk straight in but I'll work hard and see what happens."
