“The opportunity to work in the Premier League is one that I am relishing. I am excited for the next stage of my career.
“I feel confident in the renewed vision that Trivela Group have brought into the club, and believe in a very bright future for Walsall FC. I wish Ben, Stef, Leigh, Mat and all the staff, players and supporters the very best of luck.”
