At this evening's 'Meet the Manager' session Walsall boss Dean Smith has confirmed that he would like to sign trialist Zac Thompson, revealing that the former Leeds United midfielder is also under offer from other clubs.
Born in Wigan, Greater Manchester, Thompson, who can play both in midfield and defence, began his career as an apprentice with Premier League outfit Everton but signed his first professional contract with Leeds United, in 2011.
Over the next four years Zac, who is 22-year-old, went on to make around ten first-team appearances for the the Whites, and enjoyed a successful loan spell with Bury, where he went on to make almost thirty first-team appearances before being released at the end of last season.
Zac spent a few weeks on trial with Walsall earlier this month but was understood to have failed in his bid to earn a deal, this swiftly changed as he was invited back and made appearances during the Saddlers' pre-season friendlies against West Bromwich Albion and Chasetown.
