New recruit James Wilson, who has joined the Saddlers on a season-long loan from Sheffield United, has spoken to club journalists and welcomed the opportunity to join the club as he seeks to play as much football as possible over the coming weeks and months.
James, who was speaking via Saddlers.co.uk, said "I’m really looking forward to it. I want to get some games in and this definitely seems like a great place to do that. I like to get on the ball as much as defenders can.
"My movement is quite good around the pitch so I like to cover people, to look after people. It’s going to be a tough league this year, more so than last year. We can go to these places looking to get a scalp. For me personally, the gaffer wants me to play as well as we can.
"If Villa bring their strongest team it’ll be tough for us but we’ve got to show what we can do on the night and get our fitness out of it. The lads have been brilliant. Everyone has been really nice and friendly, even the staff. It’s a good place to be."
