Richard O'Donnell agrees new Walsall deal

Walsall goalkeeper Richard O'Donnell has signed a fresh 18-month deal with the club.

The 25-year-old joined the League One outfit during the summer on a one-year contract after being released by Chesterfield.

"This is something I have worked towards since the day I first arrived here. I am really pleased this has been sorted and now I can concentrate on my football and our push for the playoffs," O'Donnell told Football365.com.

"My development has been good under the guidance of [goalkeeping coach] Neil Cutler and I really enjoy working with the gaffer and Richard O'Kelly.

"I feel that I am getting better and better; there is a lot of hard work ahead, but I am ready for it."

O'Donnell has played 29 times for the Saddlers this season in all competitions.
