DEVIZES footballer Jon Guthrie has signed for League One side Walsall on a free transfer following his departure from Crewe Alexandra.

The 24-year-old turned down a contract in search of a return to League One, and has got his wish after putting pen to paper on a two-year-deal with the Saddlers.

He made a total of 116 appearances since joining Crewe in 2012, after being plucked from non-league Pewsey Vale.
