The Birmingham Mail has revealed that Corey Blackett-Taylor is the latest Aston Villa youngster to be heading out on loan.
The 21-year-old winger will join League 1 side Walsall on loan for the rest of the season. The youngster has made two cameo appearances for the senior side, both of which came when Steve Bruce was in charge.
He made his debut in a 1-0 loss to Huddersfield Town in March 2017 when he came on for the final five minutes or so, and then he played the final 10 minutes in Villa’s 2-0 defeat to Middlesbrough in the Carabao Cup 6 months later.
When talking about the move, he said:
I’m delighted to get the move done and I can’t wait to get going and gain some first-team experience with Walsall.”
I’ve been playing at the Banks’s on and off now for around three years with the development side at Villa, so I feel used to the stadium which will help me settle in well.
I believe Walsall is the perfect club for me to develop and have my first loan spell away from Villa. It will definitely help my progression being in and around a professional environment.
I’m hoping this loan move and getting into a routine will put me in good stead for the future.
