Russell Martin: Former Norwich City defender joins Walsall as player-coach

Former Norwich City defender Russell Martin has joined League One side Walsall on a free transfer as a player-coach until the end of the season.

Martin's nine-year stay at Norwich ended in August when his contract was terminated by mutual consent.

The 32-year-old, capped 29 times by Scotland, was on trial at West Bromwich Albion last month but was not offered a deal by the Championship side.

Saddlers manager Dean Keates played alongside Martin while at Peterborough.
