Byfield joined the Red Devils in the summer of 2022 and has worked closely with the first team for the past year. The former Premier League striker assumed First-Team Manager duties for a short interim spell in December before resuming the role of First-Team Coach under Scott Lindsey.
Byfield, who made over 130 appearances for the Saddlers in his playing career, links up with former Crawley left-back Mat Sadler, who was recently appointed as manager at the Poundland Bescot Stadium.
