Michael Flynn proud of Walsall skipper Donervon Daniels

Daniels signed for Walsall in January and has become a consistent force in the Walsall defence.

The Montserrat-born 28-year-old left his native country after the Soufriere Hills eruption destroyed parts of the island.

Flynn said he had been a model professional since joining the club.

He said: “He’s an intelligent bloke and a very humble human being.

“He’s come through a lot of adversity in his younger life and I’m very, very proud of Donervon with the person he is.

“There’s nobody better I could have chosen to represent Walsall, on and off the pitch.

“He does things the right way and leads by example and deserves the captain’s berth.”
