He began his career with Plymouth but failed to ever establish himself with the Pilgrims and was farmed out on loan to Yeovil and then Torquay. He was released by Plymoth boss Bobby Williamson at the end of last season and joined Walsall on trial. He then impressed Merse in his three appearances in red, starring against Aston Villa on Friday night.
“I'm delighted," Broad revealed. "It's a good club with a great bunch of players. I'm looking forward to the opportunity of playing games and the fact that somebody as well-respected as Paul Merson wants me is a great boost. It's nice to be given an opportunity and to know that somebody believes in you.”
*A full strength Walsall side overcame local rivals Hednesford at Keys Park last night. Goals from fit again Jorge Leitao, winger Daryl Taylor, Matty Fryatt, manager Merson and substitute Tai Atieno helped the Saddlers to a 5-1 win.
