Walsall defender Clayton McDonald has admitted he is keen on securing a permanent move to the Banks's Stadium.

The Manchester City defender has been registered in time to face MK Dons at Stadium MK tomorrow.

Need to secure the 20-year-old became more pressing after the retirement of Stephen Roberts yesterday, leaving the Saddlers with just three recognised centre-backs.

His initial loan expired after last Saturday's 2-2 draw with Carlisle and the two clubs have been working to extend his spell all week. The latest deal expires after the FA Cup first-round tie on Saturday November 7 and City have given permission for him to play in the Cup.

McDonald, son of former Walsall striker Rod, has been a hit in his first month, making six appearances.
