Walsall defender Rico Henry admits that he is targeting promotion with the Saddlers after extending his stay at the club until 2018.

Defender Rico Henry has admitted that he is hoping to play his part in a successful promotion campaign with Walsall.

The Saddlers are currently sitting in second place in the League One table, and after penning a new three-year deal with the West Midlands outfit, Henry has revealed that he is already looking at testing himself at a higher level.

The 18-year-old is quoted by the Express & Star as saying: "I'm delighted to have signed. I feel I have been doing well and have managed to score goals.

"Signing this deal will be good for me, now I just want to keep playing well and get this team to where it wants to be - the Championship."

Henry has made a total of 21 appearances for Walsall, 11 of which have come since the start of the current campaign.
