Walsall are hopeful of fending off interest from Premier League clubs to keep 16-year-old starlet Sean Geddes at the Banks’s.
The highly-rated midfielder is believed to have been offered a two-year apprenticeship plus one-year professional deal by Walsall and the club are hopeful that he will choose to stay with them to continue his development.
Geddes has just returned from a trial with Bolton Wanderers, after similar spells with Albion and Blues and Saddlers are currently bracing themselves for a compensation offer from the Trotters between £10,000 and £80,000.
Meanwhile, another of Walsall’s promising youngsters has been awarded a professional contract.
Seventeen-year-old striker Josh Craddock, who made his Saddlers debut on the final day of the season,
The Wolverhampton-born youngster bagged 12 goals in just 16 starts during last season’s Championship-winning campaign for the youth team.

Like they fought of bids for Scott Dann and Fox.
whats it got to do with u dingle boy? go comment on ur tripe team and leave us alone k?
does he not have a point
Got to agree with the Wolf. Why does the E&S simply feed us Bonser’s spin? I know Bonser thinks Walsall fans are daft, but surely the local paper should assume that a few of us have brains.
Dann had two and half years left on his contract, but Bonser said that when a player asks to leave there is nothing he can do but let him go. Geddes at 16 is not even under contract - but he were and someone came along with an offer then he would be on his way like every other young player we have ever had.
ive played against this kid in a tournemant hes is now where near as gud as this. im better!
