Thomas Morris steps up from the Walsall academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Thomas Morris has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Steven Murray: “No excuses”
