Walsall break transfer record to sign Cypriot international

Walsall have broken their transfer record to complete the signing of Anorthosis Famagusta striker Andreas Makris.

Earlier this summer, the Saddlers sold last season's top goalscorer Tom Bradshaw to Barnsley, but the League One outfit have moved to replace him with 20-year-old Makris, who arrives in the West Midlands on a three-year deal.

Makris told the club's official website: "I am very pleased to be here. From the moment I walked into the stadium I felt comfortable and I know this move will further my career. I will always give my best here and I can't wait to score goals and celebrate with the fans.

"I've followed Walsall since last year. Jason [Demetriou] gave me some great advice about Walsall FC, he's a good friend of mine and only said good things about the club."

The fee for the Cypriot international will remain undisclosed.
