Walsall striker Jamille Matt has played just 76 minutes in League Two this term.

Matt is yet to start for the Saddlers in League Two this term and has featured for just 76 minutes of league action in total. 

But Sadler has praised the unsung role that Matt plays in the background to keep the team unity strong.

"I haven't met anyone quite like Jamma. I played against him and he was horrible to play against when I did," Sadler said.

"He's the epitome of what I loved about being a manager here. Jamma takes people out for coffees just to see how they are and he'll check in on people on their days off.
