Vincent has made 423 league appearances for eight different clubs

Aldershot Town have completed the signing of Walsall left-back Jamie Vincent on a one-year deal.

The former Bournemouth and Swindon man joins the League Two club despite being offered a new deal by the Saddlers.

The 35-year-old told the club website: "I wanted to sign for a club nearer to where my family is based.

"Aldershot expressed an interest and this is a new challenge for me now. I am looking forward to meeting the squad next week when we start training."

Manager Kevin Dillon said: "It is terrific to have a talented wise head who is a cultured left-back too.

"He likes to play football and could have stayed at a higher level but chose to join us here at Aldershot Town."
