Mat Sadler says Walsall defender Rico Browne is "too close" to the first team to be allowed to leave the club on loan.

Browne is still awaiting his League Two debut for the Saddlers but has made three appearances in the EFL Trophy. 

The 20-year-old, who arrived in September after turning down a new deal at Birmingham City, spent a short stint on loan at National League side Tamworth earlier in the campaign. 

Fellow youngster Ronan Maher headed out for his second loan spell at Tamworth this week but Sadler insists he does not have similar plans for Browne at the moment.
