The 18-year-old has joined the Southern Premier South outfit for a one-month loan and will be available for selection this weekend as Darrell Clarke's former club face Hendon.

Leak, who is yet to make a first team appearance for Walsall, joins up with manager Steve Claridge and is delighted with the move.

“I’m buzzing,” he said.

“It’s a good level for me to go and perform so I’m hoping to gain valuable experience in terms of men’s football and being in a first team environment.

“The intensity of training with the first team here keeps me at a good fitness level so I’m ready to go and play games and I’m really excited.”
