Mat Sadler urging kids to kick on at Walsall
Player-coach Mat Sadler has challenged Walsall’s exciting crop of youngsters to push for a place in the first-team this season.
The experienced defender will combine his playing duties while being part of manager Darrell Clarke’s backroom team for the 2020/21 campaign.
Sadler got a first taste of life in the dugout when he managed a youthful Walsall XI against Leamington on Tuesday.
And he was particularly impressed with midfielders Joe Willis and Sam Perry as well as striker Jayden Campbell – youngsters who have been given a chance to impress in first-team friendlies recently.
