BURNLEY's teenager winger Josh Ginnelly has joined League One side Walsall on loan until January.
The 19-year-old, who joined the Clarets from Shrewsbury Town a year ago, scored his first senior goal for the club in Tuesday's win over Bolton Wanderers at the Macron Stadium.
Speaking after that victory, Burnley boss Sean Dyche said: "It will do Josh the world of good to come on and get his first goal, it was a really nice strike."
He also spoke of his belief that Ginnelly, as well as fellow teenagers Daniel Agyei, Brad Jackson and Aiden O'Neill, were ready for loan moves into the Football League.
"You can see they’re ready, they are players I feel strongly are ready," said Dyche.
"I played in all the leagues as a player and they are definitely ready for league football in my opinion."
Ginnelly spent time on loan at National League side Altrincham last season.
