According to the latest media reports, Walsall goalkeeping and first-team coach Neil Cutler is in the verge of joining local Premier League side West Bromwich Albion, as recently appointed manager Alan Pardew looks to add to his backroom team.
Press Association journalist Nick Mashiter - formerly of the Express & Star - reporting via his official Twitter feed, revealed the news earlier this evening but is yet to add any further details.

41-year-old, Staffordshire born Cutler joined the Saddlers under Dean Smith in 2013 and has helped the club discover several underutilised goalkeepers, taking them from free agency to higher levels of the game.
Stoppers such as Richard O'Donnell, Neil Etheridge and Liam Roberts have all benefited from Cutler's coaching and his potential departure would serve as a major blow to the side.
