Weston won't last season die
Walsall defender Rhys Weston insists he won't let this season die out because his team-mates need to prove themselves worthy of new contracts.
The Saddlers stopper has a year to run on his deal but acknowledges his colleagues deserve his support.
Weston admits the credit crunch will undoubtedly be on their minds and insists he owes it to the 13 players out of contract, including Clayton Ince and Stephen Hughes, to finish strongly.
He said: "I've been in that position numerous occasions and it's a very difficult situation to be in, especially with the current climate in football and in the economy in general.
"The boys who are out of contract will be aware of that. That's why you'll find we'll be putting everything in until the end of the season – for the boys who are playing for futures."
But Weston believes, because there is uncertainty surrounding so many play-ers, it gives the Saddlers a chance to keep the season alive.
They are destined for a mid-table League One finish and the 28-year-old, who has made 26 appearances, scoring once this season, reckons the squad's situation adds spice.
He added: "We are a fortunate club in that, even though we are in mid-table, we still have something to play for."
