A 19-year-old defender natural centre-half, Craig joins on a month’s loan from SkyBet League Two side Shrewsbury Town.

 

The former Birmingham City youngster signed his first professional deal with Shrewsbury back in June and has become part of the first team squad this season featuring as a left-sided player, he can play left of a back three, left-back or left-wing-back.

 

Forward Faal arrives for a month from Championship outfit West Bromwich Albion.

 

He experienced his first loan in senior football at Telford’s league rivals Hereford during the second half of the 2021/22 campaign.

 

He made 5 appearances in all competitions for the Bulls, scoring 2 goals.

 

But the highlight of Faal's 2021/22 campaign came in the Baggies' Premier League Cup run as he bagged 3 group-stage goals before netting vital efforts against Fulham and Wolverhampton Wanderers in the knockout stages of the competition.

 

The Gambian's looping header helped the Baggies defeat the Cottagers 2-1 in the semi-final, before a spectacular strike in added time against Wanderers helped send the final to penalties - which Richard Beale's men won to come out as champions.

 

Albion took Faal (pictured) out of local football to become a first-year scholar at the age of 16.

 

He is a big presence up front with a bubbly personality and doesn’t fail to make an impression when involved for the Baggies.

 

He made an early impression in the under-23s at the beginning of the 2020/21 campaign, featuring in a number of matches for the club's PL2 side. But he was a regular fixture in Albion’s under-18 side and enjoyed a prolific season, scoring 7 goals.

 

Faal also helped the young Baggies maintain momentum and confidence during their 2021 FA Youth Cup run after scoring the decisive goal in the 2-1 fourth-round win over Cardiff City at The Hawthorns.

 

After signing professional terms with the club in the summer of 2021, he was in clinical form during his first full term with the 23s - scoring 5 goals in the first two months of the campaign and ending the season on double figures in all competitions.

 

Faal's goalscoring exploits were rewarded when he was called-up to train with the first team under Valérien Ismaël, and the Frenchman handed the attacker his first senior appearance when he brought him off the bench against Arsenal in August 2021.
