Jonny Brain has signed a deal at Walsall after telling Sky Sports News that the offer from Macclesfield was an insult.

Insult?  It was probably all we could afford for an average keeper.

Brain made 143 appearances for Macc during his stay at the Moss Rose and won the players player award last season.

The keeper spoke to the offical Saddlers website and said "Walsall is ideal for me, they have a nice set-up with the new training ground.  The manager and coaching staff are very experienced and will develop me and it's a step up the league.  I will look forward to playing against the bigger sides like Sheffield Wednesday, Southampton and Charlton."
