Recent Walsall signing Neil Etheridge has spoken to the local press and has insisted that he will be ready for the opening day of the season.
Speaking to the Joseph Masi of the Express & Star, Neil said; “I’m ready, I’m absolutely ready to be first choice. I’ve got experience at international level but there is no doubt it is different to playing regularly for your club.
“It’s a long season, with 46 games in the league alone, so I know I have to work hard and be very consistent. But this is definitely the time for me to crack on and I need to get as many league games as possible under my belt.
“I want to move forward and progress as a goalkeeper. But I also want to help the team move forward – that has to be the main aim. I’ll give everything though and I know when that first game comes around against Oldham I will be ready.”
