Madds Timm from Man United and Michael Leary from Luton have been signed on loan until the end of the season

Mads Timm has signed from Manchester United on a deal that will see him stay at Bescot for the remainder of the season. The midfielder joined Manchester United as a very highly rated 16 year old. Five years later he will see this loan deal as a chance to show he still has a big future in the game after personal problems halted his progress. Timm was involved in a dangerous driving incedent near Carrington last year and had a spell in jail as a result. Nearly a year on he comes to Walsall to gain first team experience and make up for lost time. Make no mistake Timm is a very talented individual and a spell in League One will give him the perfect stage to show his talents. After coming to England so highly rated then League One should be a standard way below his level and his performances should show this. The move might be make or break for him regarding whether he has Manchester United career left to return to. If he is not professional down here he might find he is shown the door by Sir Alex.

Luton Town midfielder Michael Leary also joins on loan until the end of the season. He has spent the first half of the year at Bristol Rovers who rated the youngster highly. Mike Newell has loaned him out again as he gives the young midfielder a season of lower league league football. Michael made 14 appearences for Bristol Rovers with 13 being starts. During this time he picked up 6 yellow cards. The player is described as a tough tackling attack minded player and could be seen as a Kris Taylor replacement. Daryl Taylor meanwhile has rejoined Hereford on a two month loan spell. It was decided that the midfielder should spend time away from the club to get some first team experience after recovering from the serious injury which he sustained in his previous loan spell at the club.
