Vice-captain Matt extended his season tally to five goals during Walsall’s 3-1 victory over Carlisle United at Bescot on Tuesday.

The 35-year-old also played an instrumental role in the build-up to Nathan Lowe’s second-minute opener before registering an assist for Jamie Jellis’ second half strike.

That result propelled Walsall into second spot in League Two but Matt insists that the hard work must continue as they look to build on their strong start to the season.
