WORCESTER City have bolstered their attacking options with the signing of striker Amadou Bakayoko on a one-month youth loan from Walsall.

The 20-year-old, who will remain at Worcester until February 13 when his deal comes to an end, looks set to make his debut against Corby Town at Aggborough tomorrow.

The arrival of Bakayoko, who has made 15 first team appearances for the Saddlers, comes after the departures of City trio Shaun Harrad, Ashley Vincent and Sean Geddes.

And the forward could feature alongside fellow Walsall loanee Jordan Murphy, who is also likely to make his first appearance for Worcester this season.

Bakayoko is no stranger to the Vanarama National League North having had spells at Southport and Telford, and has now been handed the responsibility of helping 18th placed City move clear of the drop zone.
