Nathan Sheron has left Fleetwood on loan to League Two club Walsall for the rest of the season.

The 22-year-old defender or midfielder has not featured for the first team this season, having made 26 appearances for Joey Barton’s side last season and 37 for the club in all since his debut in November 2017.
