Last season, Sion Spence broke Walsall hearts in a Bristol Rovers shirt. Now, after being released by Crystal Palace, the Welshman is bidding to win a deal at the site of his first professional goal.

The 21-year-old was pictured playing for the Saddlers in a behind-closed-doors friendly against Birmingham City on Tuesday as he looks for a new club after leaving Selhurst Park.

Spence was something of an unlikely hero for the Gas during his season-long loan in BS7, scoring a stoppage-time winner at the Bescot Stadium in September to inject some desperately-needed momentum into the campaign.

That was followed by an incredible brace as a substitute to inspire a thrilling comeback victory over Oxford United in the FA Cup two months later, but he would feature just six more times before the end of the season.
