Sam Hornby credits Walsall staff for his excellent penalty record
Walsall goalkeeper Sam Hornby insists there is "no secret" behind his penalty-stopping heroics as he prepares to fight for the No 1 spot at Bescot.
The 30-year-old is set to battle it out with Watford loanee Myles Roberts, who joined the club on Monday.
Tommy Simkin, who registered 16 goals in 47 matches for Walsall last term, returned to his parent club Stoke City at the end of the season.
Fresh from signing a new two-year deal, Hornby joined the Saddlers in the summer of 2024 after a successful trial and made 12 appearances across all competitions.
He became popular for his shot-stopping heroics from the spot, especially in the shoot-out wins over Birmingham City and Reading in the EFL Trophy last term.
