The 18-year-old attacking midfielder, who hails from West Bromwich, joins the New Bucks Head on a one-month deal and will be available for Saturday's visit of Chorley.

Sangha graduated through the Walsall academy, featuring for every side between under-9s and under-16s, before signing his first professional contract in February 2016.

And the youngster admits he is excited by the chance to experience more first-team football.

"I'm excited to go out and play some games, to get in and around first-team football and get some experience," Sangha said.

"I know Telford are quite a big club at that level. They've got a nice pitch there and they like to play football.

"To get experience of playing first-team football at my age is massive and hopefully I'll then be able to come back and push to get into Walsall's first team.

"I've been on the bench a few times this season but I haven't got my debut yet so that was the main reason I wanted to go out on loan to get some first-team action.

"Hopefully I can do well there. I want to play as many games as possible and make a good impression on Telford and Walsall."
