Falkirk have signed Wolves winger Conor McLeod on a season-long loan deal.

McLeod, 19, is yet to make a senior appearance for Wolves, but has impressed for the club's youth sides, while also being capped by England at under-16 level.

"Conor is a winger, and he's one that Allan Fraser watched towards the end of last season and he caught his eye, so we've followed him since then," manager John McGlynn said.

"He's been doing really well in pre-season with Wolves. He scored a couple of goals against Burnley, which is great from his point of view.

"He's a skilful player that will take opposition players on in one vs one situations, and we feel he's someone who will complement the team.

"He's coming in to push for starts and to try to make a name for himself, like a lot of the players we've brought in in these positions have done.

"He's one that we've been doing a good bit of work on. We're delighted to get him, we're looking forward to working with him, and we welcome him to the football club."
