Mason Hancock embraces "healthy competition" at Walsall amid wing-back battle
Mason Hancock says he will embrace the "healthy competition" for places in the wing-back positions at Walsall this season.
The 22-year-old, signed from Scottish Championship side Airdrieonians earlier in the summer, made his debut in the Saddlers' 2-1 win over Swindon at Bescot on Saturday.
Fellow summer signing Vincent Harper was not included in the squad, while right wing-back Connor Barrett scored the winning goal, assisted by Courtney Clarke, who made his debut from the bench in midfield.
Hancock feels each of them can offer something different and complement one another throughout the season.
Walsall competition 'very healthy'
"Competition is very, very healthy. I have a great relationship with Vincent [Harper] both on and off the pitch," Hancock said.
