Walsall have completed the signing of Manchester City's Jordy Hiwula on an initial one-month youth loan, subject to clearance.

The 18-year-old striker enjoyed a brief loan spell at Yeovil in January, scoring one goal in nine appearances.

Manager Dean Smith told the official club website: "Jordy is a player that I have been tracking for a while.

"He's since been on loan at Yeovil and all the scouting reports we have on their matches highlight him as a player with real potential.

"I like to get players on their second loan and feel that Jordy will come here and improve us.

"He will give us a threat in behind and can play down the middle or out wide.

"His preferred position is as a 'number nine', and with his pace and trickery, we have an exciting young talent on our hands."
