Yeovil, Walsall loans benefit Man City starlet Hiwula

Manchester City striker Jordi Hiwula has enjoyed his time away on-loan this season.

The 20-year-old City forward spent time with Yeovil Town and Walsall in League One.

"It feels good to be back and part of everything again," Hiwula told City's website. "I enjoyed my first spell with Yeovil and even though I don't think I did that well, I learned a lot because it was the first time I'd been away from home and also played senior football, all of which made the second spell that much better.

"As a striker you get judged on goals and I didn't find the net in any of the nine games I played for Yeovil. It's more of a personal disappointment because I just wanted to contribute more to the team.

"At Walsall, things went much better and I scored on my debut within four minutes of coming off the bench and then scored on my home debut which was the perfect start.

"I managed nine goals in 19 games and I also played in the Johnston's Paint Trophy Final at Wembley in front of more than 72,000 people as well."
