Walsall have today announced that Dean Smith and his troops will leave the UK shores next week and fly halfway across the world to Trinidad and Tobago!

Aswell as relaxing in the sun, Dean and the boys will face three local sides including one of the most famous Carribean sides, Central FC – managed by Terry Fenwick.
