Paul Devlin has left the club by mutual consent and Scott Fitzgerald has retuned to Brentford.

The club have announced both measures this morning and neither can be considered to be that much of a surprise.

Paul Devlin is rumoured to have been unhappy after being dropped for Tuesday night’s game, but, after being injured on his debut, then being sent off on his return, Saddlers’ fans have seen precious little of his supposed qualities.

Fitzgerald was bought in by caretaker manager Mick Halsall, but was being pursued by Paul Merson. He has completely failed to look the part on his few appearances and, at least, his return does lower the number of loanees.
