Ex-Walsall defender Russell Martin swiftly finds new club
Russell Martin has joined MK Dons just three days after leaving his role as player-coach at Walsall.
Experienced defender Martin, 33, left the Saddlers on Saturday, citing family reasons, after making only 12 appearances for Dean Keates' side.
And he has now signed for the League Two Dons.
"I’m looking forward to being part of the team and part of the project that the manager is building as well as, of course, helping the club get back to where it belongs," said Martin.
"I’ve been very fortunate to have enjoyed success during my career and I want more.
"Hopefully, I can play my part in bringing that to the club.”
Martin's departure left Walsall short of centre-half options. Jon Guthrie and Wolves loanee Connor Johnson are the only ones who are fit and available.
