Walsall have signed West Bromwich Albion midfielder Sam Mantom on loan, subject to Football League clearance.

The 20-year-old will be available for tonight's home League One game against Sheffield United.

Mantom, a former England Under-17 international, made his West Brom debut in the Carling Cup in August 2010, but has yet to make a league appearance for the Baggies.

He has had loan spells at Icelandic side Haukar, Oldham and Tranmere.
