Utility man Neil Emblen has agreed a new deal with Walsall which will keep him at the club until the end of the 2004-05 campaign.

Emblen, who had been out of contract with the Saddlers following their relegation to Division Two, has agreed a one-year contract.

Emblen initially joined Walsall in June last year following two loans at Bescot and can also boast spells at Norwich, Crystal Palace, Wolves and Millwall.
