Manchester United defender Reece Devine is set for his loan experience in English football.
The youngster has joined Walsall in League 2 until the end of the season, having spent the first half of the campaign with St Johnstone in Scotland.
Devine is yet to make his United debut and will be looking to establish himself in the fourth tier, getting some regular football.
Some of his higher profile fellow youngsters, such as Amad and Anthony Elanga, have wished Devine well with his next challenge.
Amad has of course embarked on a new chapter himself, moving north of the border to join Rangers for the remainder of the campaign.
Devine made ten appearances for St Johnstone and played against some prestigious opponents.
He played at Ibrox, Amad’s new home, against Rangers and in the Europa League qualifiers against Galatasaray.
That said, he did not nail himself down as an undoubted starter and that has to be the aim between now and May.
There will not be the opportunity for games of such stature, but it is about another taste of men’s football and the realities of what it takes to play every week.
United will of course be keeping track of his progress and Walsall face Bristol Rovers this afternoon, looking to improve their recent form after four straight league defeats.
