Walsall Football Club have today announced plans for the squad to take part in a short tour of Trinidad & Tobago.

The players and coaching staff will make the 4,500-mile journey on July 3rd and will be guests of Central FC, who are managed by Terry Fenwick.

The Saddlers will play three games, versus a Trinidad & Tobago XI, a League Select XI and our their, Central FC.

As part of the tour, they will also offer coaching within the community and attend local schools as well as meeting the Mayor of San Fernando.

Dean Smith told saddlers.co.uk, “This is a fantastic opportunity for the club. We had been looking for somewhere to go on tour since the end of last season and this fits in perfectly with our schedule.

“A mutual friend put Kevin Harrison, who I know from my time at Leyton Orient when he worked for The PFA, and who is also involved with the Football Players Association of Trinidad & Tobago, in touch with me and it has gone from there.

“We will take part in three games and also get involved with the local community, so it’s going to be a really productive and worthwhile seven days. As good as our training ground is, it’s always nice to be able to get away and spend some time in different surroundings. This experience is going to be extremely beneficial to us and hopefully those people that we meet along the way.”
