Andy Butler delighted to return to Walsall
Influential defender Andy Butler has spoken of his delight at returning to Walsall on loan from Sheffield United.
The Saddlers' former skipper has re-joined the club on one-month emergency terms, less than four months after choosing to leave the Banks's.
And the 30-year-old says he is ready to hit the ground running as he hopes to start against Preston this Saturday.
"It's great to be back here," he said. "It was a tough decision for me to leave in the summer.
"I didn't leave the club on bad terms, it was more for off-the-field reasons so hopefully the fans can understand this.
"I'm going to give everything I've got during my time here; I just want to be out there playing football and making a contribution.
"As a professional when you are not playing, it does get you down, but the opportunity to get back into action has certainly put a smile on my face.
"Hopefully I can slot straight back in and help the club return to winning ways. It's a tough start for us against a strong Preston side, but I can't wait, to be honest.
"I've got a lot of friends at this club and also enjoyed a good relationship with the fans, so I am delighted to be back."
