Walsall Career

Player Profile

Colin Lee signed Emblen on loan in January 2003. His first game was as a sub against Wolves, a game which the Saddlers lost 1-0.  He started the following game against Reading which ended 0-0,  he was back on the bench for the 1-0 win against Brighton, and started the 4-1 defeat against Leicester City.

At the time it was thought the Canaries would restore him to the side once he was match fit, but he only made 3 appearances before ending the season as a Saddlers player thanks to a special dispensation from FA to play him after deadline day.  

His signing was always on the cards in the Summer of 2003. 

Attributes

 

 

Neil Emblen is extremely versatile,. He can play at center half, in central midfield, and even featured up front and out-wide for the Wolves. 

We can expect Neil to use all his knowledge and experience at this level next season while playing at the heart of the defence, or as the holding man in midfield. 

If he can steer clear of injuries and stay fit then his versatility will prove to be an asset to what will be a small Walsall squad.
