"As soon as the manager talked about it, I was really happy and it was something that I really wanted to do.

"Overall, I think Walsall is a really good club. We have good fans, we have a good team with a good manager, good facilities and I feel like it is a good place for me to be at right now.

"I am enjoying my football and I want to carry on doing that.

"As soon as I got my opportunity to play, I have felt comfortable at the back and I want to carry on what I have been doing previously between now and the end of the season.

"It has been very good working with the manager and I am enjoying working with him. I think he understands me as a player, he knows my strengths and my weaknesses.

"Every day he is trying to improve me and he pushes me to be a better player."

Who is always late for training?

"This is an easy one. - Rollin Menayese. I have never seen so much money go into a fine kitty from one player before! He must spend a ridiculous amount a week on fines! The other day he was late. I think it was the second day in a row, and the gaffer said just fine him whatever you want. He just doesn't seem that bothered."
