Richards Set for Walsall - Ipswich Town News
Walsall boss Chris Hutchings says he will talk to released Town man Matt Richards regarding a contract at the Bescot Stadium. Richards, who left the Blues at the end of last season, has been on trial with the Saddlers and has impressed the former Wigan manager.
Hutchings said: "I’m interested in Matt because he’s a good player. We’ll have a little chat and see what irons he’s got in the fire and go from there.
"I’ve seen him at left back, he’s played wide left and in central midfield and I knew he could play in all three positions. I felt he showed a composed performance on Saturday [during a 1-0 win at Hereford].”
Earlier in the summer, Richards spent time on trial with Leyton Orient.
Elsewhere, former Blue Darren Bent is at Sunderland for his medical with his £12 million switch from Tottenham finally set to go through.
