Walsall have signed Blackpool midfielder Ryan Finnigan on a season-long loan.
The 21-year-old began his career at Southampton where he made one appearance as a substitute against Shrewsbury Town in the FA Cup in January 2021.
Finnigan spent spells on loan with Crewe Alexandra and Shrewsbury before joining the Tangerines in January 2024 where he has scored three times in 18 appearances.
"I've played in nearly every role in midfield so that versatility, I think, can help me," he told the club website, external.
"I want to get on the ball, dominate games, I'm not afraid to put a foot in and cover ground. I can also be a physical threat as well."
Saddlers boss Matt Sadler added: "Ryan is someone I contacted the guys at Blackpool about as soon as the season finished because he's one I wanted to try and bring to the club.
"He had a good loan spell at Crewe a few years back and through different reasons hasn't had the game time that he wants.
"But he's a very good young player who we're looking forward to seeing the best of as the season continues."

Why should a man go to work, if he has the health and strength to stay in bed?
