Byfield key for Walsall manager
Monday 5th October 2009, 11:20AM BST.
Walsall manager Chris Hutchings hailed Darren Byfield as key to the Saddlers season – as it was revealed he could have played against them on Saturday.
The striker netted his second goal in two games in the 2-2 draw with Carlisle, as United boss Greg Abbott confirmed trying to sign Byfield before his return to the Banks’s Stadium.
But the 33-year-old instead grabbed his third of the season against the Cumbrians and Saddlers boss Hutchings is delighted.
The manager said: “Darren is a goalscorer. We know that. He needs to stay fit, he needs to stay sharp and he’s going to be a handful for any defence.”

If Byfield does score a lot of goals for us over the next two months then he will leave in January to a club that will offer him a better contract.
