Connor Barrett and Mason Hancock started the season as the two first-choice wing-backs, but a knee injury to the latter opened the door for Vincent Harper to nail down a place on the left. 

Jid Okeke has also made an impression on loan from Stockport County and has enabled Sadler to rotate in the wing-back areas. 

Hancock is due to make his comeback next month, after almost five months out of action with a dislocated knee, after returning to training.

Vincent Harper has picked up the mantle from the injured Mason Hancock at wing-back for Walsall.
