Walsall have confirmed that second-year scholar Marvellous Onabirekhanlen has put pen to paper on his first professional contract in WS1.Marvellous, who joined the club as an Under-15 in 2020, was among a small number of players to be offered fresh terms at the end of the season and will be looking to make an impact in 2023/24.
The striker enjoyed an extended loan spell with Worcester City last season and may well go back out on loan as he looks to game some much-needed experience in his first year as a pro.
Speaking via the club's official website, Head Coach Mat Sadler welcomed news of Marvelous' new deal, he said; "Marv is another one who benefitted from some time out on loan last season and it was clear to see that he has good attributes from when we had him training with us at the end of last season.
"There’s plenty of hard work coming up for Marv during pre-season but I am really looking forward to seeing what he can do for us."
