The midfielder, who arrived from non-league Tamworth for an undisclosed fee in January 2024, has registered seven goals and two assists in 54 matches across all competitions this term. 

His season tally included a memorable finish in a 4-0 rout over Colchester in September, and a stunning volley in a 4-1 success at Grimsby the following month, which was subsequently voted Walsall's goal of the season.

A hamstring injury upon arrival restricted him to just two appearances during his first six months at Bescot, but the 24-year-old has gone on to play a key role in propelling Walsall into the League Two play-off final.
