Centre-half Daniels recently signed a new two-year deal with the Saddlers and is likely to play a prominent role under Michael Flynn next season.

The 28-year-old is keen to communicate and help his team-mates in any way possible.

"It's something I've picked up over the years, being around other experienced players," said Daniels.

"It's helped me mould my personality in the dressing room, and it's something I do take pride in.

"I speak to the other lads as I feel my experience is one of my strongest attributes – the way I communicate with my team-mates."

It is unclear who will captain Walsall going into the 2022/23 campaign as current skipper Joss Labadie is sidelined with an ACL injury for several months.

Daniels could potentially be a contender for the role.

He added: "I'm an ambassador for the club, so I want to be the best representation that I can be."
