Walsall sign Badeau - Facts and Stats

Last updated : 24 May 2006 By Andy Van Hagen
24th May 2006, the day Walsall started re-building for next season. Richard Money made Tony Bedeau, his first Walsall signing. Badeau has signed a pre-contract agreement and has undertaken and passed his medical. He will join up with his new team mates on July 1st.

Last season started badly for Tony, after coming off the bench in the season opener against Notts County he was shown the red card. This enforced him to sit out the next three matches before returning to first team action against Bournemouth in the League Cup. From there he went on to feature in 36 games (32 starts), he recorded a fine return of 11 goals for Torquay last season, which is a great achievement because they only narrowly avoided the drop.

Tony told Walsall's official website (www.saddlers.co.uk) "I am delighted to be here," he said. "This is a fresh start for me and I can't wait to get my Walsall career underway. I have been at Torquay a long time and felt that I needed a new challenge. There were a lot of clubs who expressed an interest in me, but Richard Money did a fantastic job in selling the club to me and one look around the stadium and facilities convinced me that this was the right move".

The first signing of many??
