Walsall have made an appointment to their backroom staff, according to the Express and Star.

Jimmy Mullen, the former Sheffield Wednesday player and manager of Burnley and Blackpool has moved from Hednesford Town, where he was the Assistant Manager.

There is no indication from the article in the paper what role he will be taking up at the club.

The 54 year old’s greatest success came at Burnley, where he gained promotion twice and achieved something approaching hero status amongst the fans.
