Comley, who has been an ever-present since returning from an ankle injury in October, scored his first goal in 20 months during Walsall’s 3-1 win at Tranmere Rovers.

Sadler said: “Someone told me once you’ve got artists and soldiers. Brandon is a soldier for sure. I am glad he painted a bit of colour on the game today (on Saturday).

“That’s what he does and every successful team needs a Brandon Comley.

“The experienced guys are really showing up. They’re really putting themselves out there because we’re a young team.

“We’ve got youth running throughout us and that’s the way I want it. Within all that, you’ve got to have those experienced soldiers and Brandon has been that.”
