Walsall manager has today told saddlers.co.uk he is happy with the behind-the-scenes progress being made as he continues to look to add to the Saddlers squad, Smith also spoke of his delight as the main body of the squad is tied to the club for atleast the next season.
Smith said, "It's a credit to the direction that the club is going in that there will be no major overhaul of players this year," said Smith. "It means that we will be able to hit the ground running and hopefully continue advancing down the road that we want to be on.
"Things have gone smoothly so far and we're certainly moving in the right direction. I'm having regular talks with players; I met with Febian Brandy recently and have spoken with Will Grigg, whose representatives have been in discussions with the club, whilst I will be sitting down with Ben Purkiss shortly.
"I'm also in dialogue with a number of goalkeepers and other players whom I feel would stengthen us in certain areas so, as I say, things are going well."
