Walsall boss Michael Flynn has spoken to the local press and revealed his plans to hold a recruitment meeting with Technical Director Jamie Fullarton as he looks to begin the process of securing a squad for the 2022/23 campaign.

Flynn, who has seen his side lose just one of his five games at the helm, is keen to identify targets who can help the club progress and hopefully avoid another season in the bottom half of the table.

The former Newport County man went on to admit that convincing new players to make the move to WS1 will be no easy task. but is keen to do the best he can during what will be a first summer at the Banks's.

Speaking via the Express & Star, Michael said; "I’ve spoken to Jamie Fullarton and we have a recruitment meeting next week. It’s not us getting ahead of ourselves, but we want to be on the front foot to identify targets for next season.

"A little bit of planning isn’t taking your eye off the prize. It’s just about being forward-thinking.

"It’s something I’m looking forward to, trying to get on the front foot in terms of recruitment.

"I think Walsall did it quite well last summer. Obviously, I was still at Newport, but you saw that the business was all done quite early.

"That makes it easier for me as it gets everybody ready for the first day they’re back in. We want to be in a position where we can get as much business done as we can, early doors.

"Obviously, we’ve got to wait until the end of the season to get deals done and for the window to open, but there’s nothing wrong with seeing where we’re at in terms of positions and personnel.

"If we can’t get A, can we get B? If we can’t get B, can we get C? It’s tough at this level as players will have interest from elsewhere. But we’ve got to get in early and convince them this is the right club to be at."
