The club has confirmed the signing of Newport County midfielder Joss Labadie, who will become a Saddler on Thursday, 1st July 2021, shortly after his Exiles deal comes to an end.
The 30-year-old, who has put pen-to-paper on a two-year deal in WS1, has spent the last five seasons with the Exiles and captained the club for the previous four.
He played 146 times in South Wales, scored 19 goals and helped the club reach two play-finals. He netted six times in the 2020-21 season, including the winner at the Banks’s Stadium back in February.
Labadie began his career at West Bromwich Albion and enjoyed loan spells at Shrewsbury Town, Cheltenham Town and Tranmere Rovers before moving to the then League One side on a permanent basis in the summer of 2010.
After two seasons at Prenton Park, where he found the net 10 times, he joined Notts County. After 18 months at Meadow Lane, he left for Torquay United, then in League Two, in January 2014.
He left at the end of the 2013-14 season and signed for Dagenham & Redbridge where he scored seven times and made 61 appearances before his switch to Newport in 2016.
