Walsall strike partner hails 'born leader'
Jamille Matt has taken the Walsall captaincy in his stride, says strike partner Josh Gordon.
The 34-year-old was handed the armband in the absence of the injured Donervon Daniels in mid-February.
His spell as stand-in skipper has heralded a stellar run of five consecutive wins, which has lifted the Saddlers into the League Two play-off spots.
Matt has also found the net twice in the process as he continues to undergo a remarkable renaissance at Bescot.
The forward faces his former club Forest Green Rovers this afternoon, whom he captained to the League Two title in 2022.
And Gordon has been impressed by how he transmits his experience onto others.
