Walsall sign defender David Okagbue on season-long loan
Walsall have completed the signing of David Okagbue on a season-long loan from Championship side Stoke City.
The 19-year-old defender was part of their first team squad during pre-season and has also been an unused substitute during the Potter's current campaign.
Okagbue enjoyed a successful loan spell with Oldham Athletic last season and scored his first senior goal with the Latics in a 2-2 draw with Scunthorpe United last October.
"It’s a great move for me,” said the talented centre-back.
"I am looking forward to getting men’s football under my belt again, this time in the Football League.
"I am a strong, aggressive and commanding centre back and I want to play as many games as I can, help the team win games and finish as high as possible."
Okagbue becomes Walsall's 11th signing of the window.
