The Birmingham Evening Mail is reporting that both Walsall’s current loanees want to stay.

The two Kevins, Harper and Cooper, have indicated that they are both prepared to extend their stays at Walsall until the end of the season, to participate in the club’s promotion push.

The arrival of the two wingers coincided with an upturn in form which has put the Saddlers back in the driving seat in the attempt to overtake Hartlepool at the top of the table.

Both players have not yet reached full match fitness, but their presence has proved to be crucial so far.

Cooper is also in the middle of a fine run of nine games undefeated, even though they are for three different clubs, Cardiff, Yeovil and Walsall.
