Michael Flynn: Walsall's Jacob Maddox will rise up again
Walsall boss Michael Flynn feels Jacob Maddox has the ability to play at a higher level again.
The 23-year-old started his career at Chelsea, spending two years at Stamford Bridge which was punctuated by loan spells at Chelttenham, Tranmere and Southampton.
Maddox has impressed with Walsall recently, scoring on Saturday and setting up the second goal in the victory at Wycombe.
Flynn said he definitely has the technical ability to play at a higher level.
He said: “He’s got talent, he just needs to work day in, day out. Does he want it more because he has been at higher level clubs, including those in the Premier League? We’d like to think so.
“It shouldn’t take the dropping down part to kick in, but it does. We all learn in different ways and at different times and Jacob is no different. I just want him to settle down, in terms of getting a regular run of games, work as hard as he can and then we’ll see what happens. He certainly has the ability. “
