Walsall have signed goalkeeper Myles Roberts on a season-long loan from Watford.
Roberts, 23, began his career at Reading before joining the Hornets in 2020, but is yet to make a league appearance for them.
During the 2024-25 campaign, he spent six months at Scottish Championship side Partick Thistle, before joining Bristol Rovers in League One.
"I'm buzzing to be here and for us to finally get everything sorted and get this over the line," Roberts told the Saddlers website, external.
"It was a big thing for me to be able to get the move done so I could be with the lads right from the first day of pre-season, because I think that's going to be important for me as part of my development here at Walsall.
"I had a really strong start to last season, playing regularly up in Scotland and it was a real learning curve for me. I am now ready for my next step and I am really looking forward to the season ahead with the Saddlers and I'm already looking ahead to the first game of the season at home in front of the fans.
"The conversations I've had with the head coach have been really positive and now I am excited to come in and work with the rest of the keepers and to really push on."
Roberts has also spent time on loan in non-league with Wealdstone, Tonbridge Angels, Wingate and Finchley, Concord Rangers and Welling United.
Walsall have made their fourth new signing in five days after agreeing a season-long loan with Premier League side Bournemouth for teenage striker Jonny Stuttle.
The 19-year-old is yet to feature in the Cherries' first-team but has been a prolific scorer for the club's youth sides.
He scored 42 goals in 35 games for the under-16s side in his first season, then 20 the following year and spent last season getting his first taste of senior football.
After a short spell with Aldershot in the National League, he moved to National League South side Farnborough in January and finished with 10 goals from 19 appearances.
"It's a massive club and it seemed like the right move for me and the next step in my development so I am really happy to be here," Stuttle said about joining the Saddlers., external
"It went really well at Farnborough, I really enjoyed my time there and it has put me in good stead for this season and the future ahead but I am really looking forward to my time here."
Head coach Mat Sadler described Stuttle as "a well-rounded forward" who will "add something different" to his attacking options.
"We ended up beating off a lot of competition to secure the signing of Jonny for the season and we feel that with our record of improving, nurturing and looking after young players, that put us at the front of the queue," Sadler said.
Stuttle's arrival follows the recent signings of goalkeeper Myles Roberts, on a season-long loan from Watford, plus Stevenage forward Aaron Pressley and Exeter City wing-back Vincent Harper on permanent deals.

Why should a man go to work, if he has the health and strength to stay in bed?
