Matt, 34, has scored just 11 goals in his 22 months at the Bescot, but his importance to the team is becoming increasingly more evident.

“Jamille’s got a bit of an aura around the place,” said Sadler. “He’s a feared striker – I had the Fleetwood manager tell me he was delighted when Jamille went off, and I’ve had it said so many times throughout the season.
