Mat Sadler says he is pleased with the early progress Walsall pair Dylan Thomas and Charlie Wragg have made on their loans at Bromsgrove Sporting.

Wragg, who made his Saddlers debut from the bench against Fulham under-21s in the EFL Trophy last month, has scored three goals in 10 appearances for Bromgrove.

He has since been joined by Thomas who has started three of his last four games and Sadler feels the pair will continue to benefit from regular minutes.

He said: “Really good, really pleased for both of them. It’s a really good standard so we want to make sure that whoever goes to Bromsgrove in the future and any of the clubs that people go out on loan to. We want to make sure that it’s the right level and the right loans for them.

“We know Dylan is a good player. We know he needed to get up to speed because his game time wouldn’t have been as much as it had been maybe this time last year because we wanted him around with us.

“I’m glad he’s made a good start and I expect he will continue to do that. The brilliant thing with these loans is just how competitive it is at Bromsgrove and wherever else these guys go because there’s a lot riding on it in the same way there is for us.”
