Walsall manager Dean Smith has spoken to the local press as he continues his preparations for the 2015/16 campaign, and has revealed that he expects talented youngsters Liam Kinsella, Jordan Murphy, Rico Henry and Reece Flanagan to kick on next season.
Speaking to the Express & Star, Smith said; “They are all in that same boat where they have all made a number of appearances last season.
“I think Reece might have made 18, Rico Henry has made 10, Liam Kinsella five, Jordan Murphy has got on and Matt Preston - he needs to start competing with the centre-halves at this club to get a place.
“It is a big season for a lot of them but it’s good we have so many coming through.”
