Walsall's Matty Stevens wants to prove his worth
Matty Stevens believes his return to full fitness means Walsall fans will see the best of him in the coming weeks.
The 25-year-old scored his first goal for Walsall at Hartlepool to put them 3-1 up only to see the game end in a draw.
But Stevens – who suffered a long-term cruciate ligament problem last April – preferred to focus on the positives. He said: “That was obviously a boost for me, I enjoyed it and the finish was good I think.
“I have been building up to full fitness over the last few weeks and it felt really good (at Hartlepool), I think I am almost there.
“It has been quite a long road and a lot of hard work towards playing again and event when you do there is fitness and there is match fitness and I feel almost 100-per-cent.
"So hopefully the fans will see the best of me in the coming weeks – I know my first goal in a Walsall shirt came away from home but we have a couple of home fixtures coming up and hopefully there is more to come from me.”
