Walsall good guy Harry Williams is impressing his boss
Mat Sadler says Walsall defender Harry Williams is the type of character anyone would want to see succeed.
Williams missed the second half of his debut campaign with a hip flexor injury but has gone from strength to strength since returning in pre-season.
The 22-year-old has been a stand-out performer since his first half introduction during Walsall’s 2-1 win over Cheltenham Town at Bescot at the end of last month.
He has made nine appearances in all competitions this term and shone once again as Walsall held Premier League side Leicester City to a goalless draw, before bowing out of the EFL Cup on penalties on Tuesday.
Sadler said: “Harry is a wonderful, salt of the earth lad, who just loves to defend, which is not a dying breed, but it’s great to see in such a young player.
“One of the things that he doesn’t realise so much is how well he can pass the ball and how well he steps out with the ball. He’s a very good player and I’m delighted to see how well that he’s doing.
“He’s the type of lad that you’re just desperate to see do well because he’s such a nice guy.”
