Danny Johnson & Douglas James-Taylor: Walsall re-sign strikers

Walsall have re-signed strikers Douglas James-Taylor and Danny Johnson.

James-Taylor, 21, will join the Saddlers on a one-year deal when his contract with Stoke City expires.

He scored twice in 30 games for Walsall last season and has a further 12-month option in his deal, while 30-year-old Johnson returns from Mansfield Town on a two-year contract.

He said he hopes to "pick up where I left off" after scoring 15 goals in 30 appearances for the Saddlers last term.

"It's been a priority for a long period of time to secure Danny's signature and thankfully, it has all come together," added Sadler.
