League One club Walsall have signed Crewe Alexandra defender Jon Guthrie on a two-year contract.

The 24-year-old, who turned down the offer of a new Crewe deal, becomes Walsall's second summer signing, following the arrival of fellow 24-year-old Luke Leahy from Falkirk.

"Jon has got plenty of experience of League One from his time with Crewe," said Walsall manager Jon Whitney.

"We'll be getting Jon at a good stage of his career."
