Walsall have made a double signing by bringing in young Manchester United left-back Reece Devine on loan for the rest of the season and striker Devante Rodney from Port Vale.

Rodney, 23, has signed on a two-and-a-half year deal for an undisclosed fee.

Devine, 20, who made 10 Scottish Premiership appearances for St Johnstone earlier in the season, has yet to appear for United's first team.

But he has played five games for United's under-21s in the EFL Trophy.

"He's really hungry and he has good experience. He was out on loan at St Johnstone earlier in the season," boss Matt Taylor told BBC Radio WM.

"He's combative, he wants to fight and he has obviously got wonderful technical elements to his game because of his upbringing."

Devante Rodney scored 13 goals in 60 appearances for Port Vale

Meanwhile, after striker Kieran Phillips was recalled from his loan by parent club Huddersfield Town, Taylor has plugged the gap with former Hartlepool, Salford, Halifax and Stockport frontman Rodney.

"He will add goals," said Taylor. "He has a real attacking intent. I feel he gives us an option that we didn't have with his attributes. He's the right age and I like what he does.

"We were alerted to his availability and obviously worked very hard to secure his signature."

Taylor's Walsall, 18th in League Two, 12 points off the play-off places, are away to Joey Barton's Bristol Rovers on Saturday.
