Jack Earing’s Pursuit of Full Recovery: Walsall Midfielder Eyes 90-Minute Milestone…
Walsall midfielder Jack Earing is aiming to achieve an important milestone after making a strong comeback. Earing endured an 11-month absence from football due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury, with his last full game played in a 2-1 victory against Swindon Town on Boxing Day in 2022.
The 25-year-old, who recently signed a contract extension until the end of the next season, has been impressive since his return towards the end of last year. Scoring in his first two starts against Wrexham and Grimsby Town, Earing has featured in the last four games across various competitions.
Although he played 75 minutes against Wrexham, 60 and 74 minutes in the matches against Grimsby and Stockport County, respectively, Earing is now eager to complete a full 90 minutes. Expressing his determination to make up for the lost time, he emphasized his desire to consistently perform at his best both in training and on the pitch.
Earing acknowledged the caution shown by the coaching staff in gradually reintroducing him to full game time, understanding their decisions based on his fitness and potential risk of injury.
Despite the incremental approach, he is mentally prepared to contribute for the entire duration of a match, aiming to showcase his full energy and commitment to the team whenever deemed ready by the staff and manager.

Walsall forward Josh Gordon has shared that he is actively pursuing his coaching qualifications and contemplating a potential managerial career once he concludes his playing days. The 29-year-old, currently on loan from Burton Albion, is back for a second stint with Walsall. Despite his immediate focus on on-field matters, Gordon has engaged in discussions with Walsall manager Mat Sadler about his future plans and the nuances of transitioning to a coaching role.
In his own words, Gordon stated, “Apart from football, I’ve been working on obtaining my coaching badges. I’ve had meaningful conversations with the gaffer already. That was one of the factors that drew me here – the opportunity to be with someone who has successfully made the shift to management. It’s a path I’m open to exploring later in my career.”
