'Bromley wanted him' - Mat Sadler makes Courtney Clarke admission after Walsall's win
Mat Sadler revealed Walsall beat Bromley to Courtney Clarke's signature in the summer after he scored his first goal in the Football League.
The 3-1 win in their top-of-the-table tussle against Bromley sends to Saddlers back to the top of League Two after successive wins.
Ben Krauhaus fired Bromley into an 18th-minute lead, but Walsall produced a stunning second half display to secure maximum points.
Daniel Kanu restored parity with his eighth goal of the season in all competitions, before Ryan Finnigan towered above his marker to complete the turnaround.

Walsall sealed the deal in the final seconds when Albert Adomah broke free and unselfishly squared for Clarke to tap home.
"It means a lot to him. We had to work hard to secure him over Bromley. He is a player that they wanted to sign themselves," Sadler said.
"You can see why with the way that he plays the game. I'm delighted that we managed to get one over them on that one."
