As the 2014/15 Sky Bet League 1 campaign heads ever closer to it's conclusion Walsall manager Dean Smith has spoken to the local press and has offered a brief update on the ongoing contract negotiations between the club and first-choice goalkeeper, Richard O'Donnell.

Speaking to the Express & Star, Smith said; “It is down to Richard and his agent. We have done everything we can. It is part and parcel of football. He has done well and, rightly, got the plaudits. With that, other people come.

“We have been in negotiations, offered a contract in November and then a new one in February. We have done all we can to try and keep him.”
