Jellis scored his third goal for the club with a sensational long-range volley during Walsall’s 4-1 rout over Grimsby Town at Blundell Park on Saturday.

The 23-year-old, who arrived from non-league Tamworth in January, has featured 11 times in League Two this term but is not willing to rest on his laurels.

He said: “I’m always critical of myself and I always want more. I’m always wanting more from myself and I talk with Darren Byfield and Gary Waddock about how I can improve my game.

“It was definitely just to score more goals, get assists and contribute in the final third.

“Overall, I just want my game to be strong and just keep bringing out good performances to help the team in as many ways that I can.”
