Evan Weir relishes 'attacking role' after stunning Walsall brace against Tranmere
Walsall defender Evan Weir says he is "enjoying" his attacking role in the team after scoring a stunning brace in their 4-2 win over Tranmere Rovers at Bescot on Saturday.
The 23-year-old opened the scoring with an excellent free-kick into the far top corner inside nine minutes, before restoring the Saddlers' lead with a sublime half-volley.
That took Weir on to three goals for the season so far, level with joint-leading scorer Daniel Kanu, who scored Walsall's third just past the hour.
And after stealing the show, Weir credited Mat Sadler for providing him the license to attack.
"The gaffer tells me to get forward, he wants me stepping in and that's no problem for me because I enjoy it," Weir explained.
