Walsall midfielder Ronan Maher rejoins Tamworth on loan

The 20-year-old has linked up with the Lambs on a youth loan until December 29, Walsall confirmed this morning ahead of their League Two clash with Bristol Rovers at Bescot.

Maher, who has made 31 first-team apperances for the Saddlers, returns to Tamworth where he enjoyed two loan spells last season.

During those stints, he scored three goals and registered three assists, including an equaliser against League One side Burton Albion in the FA Cup.

A Walsall statement said: “We would like to wish Maher all the best for his upcoming loan with Andy Peaks’ side.”

Maher signed his first professional contract with Walsall in August 2022, aged 17. He went on to feature 15 times in his breakthrough season, scoring his first senior goal against Blackburn Rovers in the Carabao Cup.

The midfielder, who has also represented the Republic of Ireland at Under-19 level, has previously spent time on loan with Rushall Olympic.
