Reuben Reid has joined League 1 side Walsall in a loan deal that will see him stay with the Saddlers until January.
Reid will hope to return to the regular goalscoring ways he was known for at Rotherham where he scored 19 goals in 51 appearances during the 2008/09 season. Following that season Reid moved to West Bromwich Albion for an undisclosed fee.
He was unable to force his way into the first team at Albion failing to score in his seven Baggies games and found himself out on a three month loan to Peterborough United at the end of last season, and while at London Road he once again was unable to get on the scoresheet.
Walsall manager Chris Hutchings is pleased with his latest loan capture telling saddlers.co.uk:
"We are delighted to have Reuben on board, he had an excellent spell at Rotherham the season before last, which prompted his move to Albion where he has continued his football education.
"He's a young, hungry player with a proven track record. He can play out wide or through the middle.
"We're grateful to Roberto Di Matteo and West Bromwich Albion for agreeing to this loan deal and we're looking forward to working with Reuben during the coming months."
The youngster will make his debut at his new home against former club Plymouth Argyle on Saturday with Walsall looking to continue where they left off following their 2-1 win over Brentford last weekend.
