Versatile forward Albert Adomah has signed a new one-year contract with Walsall.

The 37-year-old made 54 appearances for the Saddlers last term, including 42 in the league, as they lost in the League One play-off final despite being 12 points clear at the top of the table at the start of the year and 10 points ahead of fourth place with 11 games remaining.

Adomah joined Walsall from Queens Park Rangers last summer and his first season at the Bescot Stadium saw him make the 700th appearance of his 17-year career.

"I feel really loved here by the supporters and I want to keep playing as much as I possibly can and helping the team wherever I can as well," Adomah said., external

"Unfortunately, last season didn't finish with the moment that we all wanted it to but I really enjoyed my time here and it was an easy decision for me to decide to stay here for another year."

Adomah is the second member of the Saddlers squad in the last few days to agree fresh terms ahead of the new season after midfielder Ronan Maher signed on for another two years.
