Dan Scarr scored twice in Stourbridge's run to the FA Cup third round in 2016-17
Walsall have signed defender Dan Scarr from Birmingham City for an undisclosed fee.
The 24-year-old centre-back, who made his name in non-league football with Stourbridge, has signed a two-and-a-half-year contract.
He made 26 appearances during a loan spell with Wycombe last season, helping them win promotion from League Two.
He said: "Hopefully, I can add a winning mentality and help the side pick up a few good results."
Scarr signed for Birmingham in 2017 after starring in Stourbridge's run to the third round of the FA Cup, scoring against Wycombe in a 2-1 defeat.
The Birmingham fan, who made only one first-team appearance for the club in the EFL Cup, is Walsall's fifth January signing.
Walsall manager Dean Keates said: "He's come from non-league football and earned the right to get a move to the Blues.
"He had a good loan period last season at Wycombe and wants to progress his career, get out and get playing.
