Speaking to saddlers.co.uk, Cain, who will wear the number 12 shirt, spoke of his delight at being given the opportunity to play competitive, first-team football, he said; “I’m over the moon to be here. It’s an opportunity for me to play regular football at a good level, so I’m relishing the challenge.
“I’d like to think that I will bring an attacking dynamic to the team; I like to get forward and get shots on goal.
“Walsall are renowned as a passing team and I feel that I will fit perfectly into that as it is how I have been brought up in the game.
“I’ve already trained here over the past few weeks and its one of the best atmospheres that I have ever experienced in football. The players and staff are a close-knit group and they have made me feel extremely welcome.
“The hope now is that I can get some games and make a favourable impression with the supporters.”
