Chasetown FC’s record appearance holder Chris Slater has signed for Walsall Wood.

The centre back has teamed up with former Scholars team-mate Gary Birch who has taken over as boss at Oak Park.

He will be joined by a number of familiar faces as ex-Chasetown stars Jack Farmer, Paul Sullivan and Andy Westwood have all agreed moves to Walsall Wood.
