Walsall manager Jimmy Mullen has promised several new signings in the next few weeks after making Wales international Stephen Roberts his first capture of the summer.
The 28-year-old defender, who moves to the Banks' Stadium from Doncaster Rovers, has signed a two-year contract with the Saddlers.
"Stephen's a proven, quality player at League One level," Mullen told the club's official website. "He played a major role in Doncaster's success last term and we're delighted to have him on board.
"He's beginning to earn international recognition and I believe he can play a major role in what we're trying to achieve here.
"After plenty of hard work and negotiations in recent weeks this is the first of a number of new signings that we'll be announcing in the coming days and weeks."
