Blues' midfielder Hall joins Walsall on loan

George Hall made eight Championship appearances for Birmingham City last season

Walsall have signed attacking midfielder George Hall on a season-long loan from League One side Birmingham City.

The 20-year-old played 40 times in the second tier for Blues, scoring on two occasions.

“It’s a great opportunity for me and I can’t wait to get started." Hall said.

“I’m a box-to-box midfielder, I like to win the ball, drive with it and I feel like I’m quite athletic so those are my main strengths.

“The main thing for me is to get minutes but I want to learn and win games of football."

Hall made nine appearances for Birmingham City in all competitions last season.
