DONE DEAL: Wolves youngster Harvey Griffiths joins Walsall

Wolves youngster Harvey Griffiths has joined Walsall.

The midfielder moves to Walsall on a season-long loan.

Wolves' pathways manager Steve Davis said: “He's 19 now and played quite a lot of 21s football, so the next stage is to get out and experience men's football and learn how to win games, how you go about that and the rewards you get with that within a team environment.

“When you're in development, sometimes you get massively carried away with just focusing on yourself and for him, it's now about what he can bring to the team at Walsall.

“However, the first thing he needs to do is get in the team. He needs to fight for a place because sometimes when you're a senior player in the 21s, you're always going to play because you're one of the better players in the team, and you just become a natural first name on the teamsheet.

“Going there, Walsall have got good players in his position, so he's got to fight for his place, so it will be interesting to see how he goes about it.

“But It's a great opportunity, it's down the road and it's a club that we'd like to build relationships with, so I hope he does well for them."
