George Nurse spent last season on loan at Newport County
Walsall have made their first summer signing by bringing in defender George Nurse from Championship side Bristol City on a season-long loan.
Nurse, 21, who can also play wing-back, spent last season with Newport County.
"The relationship that the club has already got with my parent club Bristol City was a big factor in coming here," said Nurse.
"I've known about the move for a while. I'm just happy to get it over the line."
In their first season back in League Two following relegation, Walsall finished 13th when the 2019-20 season was finally brought to end in June.
Saddlers boss Darrell Clarke said: "We've got a great relationship with Bristol City and we're very grateful to them for trusting us with another one of their youth prospects.
"I watched George a few times last season whilst he was out on loan at Newport County and I was extremely impressed."
