The 20-year-old winger arrived at St Andrew's back in the January transfer window having been touted as one of the most promising prospects around in non-league football.[LNB]He got a taste of first-team football almost immediately, starting Blues' FA Cup third-round defeat to Wolves, but a move across the midlands to the Banks's Stadium will give him a chance to gain regular match practice.[LNB]For Walsall, the Northern Ireland under-21 international will provide a timely boost to their hopes of a play-off place and he could make his debut at Southend on Saturday.[LNB]"We are delighted to have Robin on board," said Saddlers boss Chris Hutchings. "He is a player that was mentioned to me when he was at Harrow where he shown a lot of promise. The opportunity arose to take him on loan and we are grateful to Alex McLeish for allowing him to come here.[LNB]"He can play on both sides of the pitch so he will give us a few options. The team are improving but it is important to enhance the squad even when we are doing reasonably well."[LNB][LNB]
