The Saddlers squad met for an initial briefing this morning before they ran out onto the grass to build up their fitness ahead of the new campaign.

Tom Bradshaw, James O'Connor, Adam Chambers and Neil Etheridge were amongst those in attendance along with new signing Erhun Oztumer.

As expected, midfielder Isaiah Osbourne – who didn't feature last year due to a knee injury - also teamed up with the squad as he looks to win a new contract.

Walsall have confirmed out-of-contract players Sam Mantom, Andy Taylor, Anthony Forde and Jordan Cook were not in attendance.
