On a far from chilly day at the club's Essington Training Ground the first-team squad, accompanied by a few of the up-and-coming academy prospects, took part in the usual running drills and weight sessions.
Clarke, who is yet to add to his squad this summer, will no doubt be keen to have his current crop in top order as he looks to improve upon last season's mid-table finish and take his Saddlers towards the top of the table.
