Devaney joins Walsall

07 October 2010 12:02
Walsall have snapped up winger Martin Devaney from Barnsley on an initial one-month loan. The experienced 30-year-old has over 400 career appearances under his belt from his time at Cheltenham and Oakwell, and follows up Wednesday`s loan capture of Stoke defender Andrew Davies. The pair arrive at the Banks`s Stadium as part of a move to inject fresh impetus in the hope of kick-starting Walsall`s campaign with the midlands outfit currently propping up the League One table. Pre-season hopes of a play-off charge have been seriously dented by a start which has seen the midlands outfit lose 10 of their opening 13 games in all competitions. Both Devaney and Davies are expected to make their debuts in Saturday`s home clash against Exeter as the Saddlers look to end a run of eight games without victory, a sequence which has included seven defeats.
