Jellis starred for the Saddlers as Taylor Allen’s superb strike secured a 1-0 opening day win over Morecambe at Bescot on Saturday.
The midfielder, who arrived from non-league Tamworth with a hamstring issue in January, was restricted to just two substitute appearances last term.
However, Jellis scored three times in pre-season and made a strong impression in his first competitive start.
“Jamie is the epitome of someone who has worked hard to make a living and he works so hard every single day. He battered all of the runs in pre-season, he is an incredibly and hard-working guy. So yes, he’s a joy to watch and the hard work that he puts in really sets the tempo.”
