Goalkeeper Jed Ward has been named Walsall's Player of the Month for October following a string of superb performances between the sticks.

Sponsored by Walsall FC's official Pouring Partner, Molson Coors, a recent public vote saw Ward collect some 47% of the vote, as he continues his superb start to life in WS1.

Already catching national news with his superb assist for Tai Sodje against Oldham Athletic, Jed has quickly become a fan favourite following his summer switch from Bristol Rovers.

After being presented with the award at the Champy’s Bradford Arms this week, Jed admitted he is delighted to have won the inaugural award and is thankful for the votes he received, he said: "It’s a great feeling to win.

 

"I’m really happy with the start to the season and I just want to thank the fans massively for making me feel so welcome from day one.

"I can’t wait to keep doing great things for this football club and see where it takes us - UTS!"

Brad Hickman, Account Manager at Molson Coors added: "Molson Coors are delighted to sponsor the Walsall FC Player of the Month award.

 

"We’re proud to support the club and recognise the outstanding performances, dedication and commitment shown by the players throughout the season.

 

"Congratulations to Jed on being October’s winner - it’s well deserved!"
