Roberts will spend most of his summer at the Saddlers' training ground rehabilitating from an operation to cure a back injury.
The 29-year-old, who has played just 19 times since moving from Doncaster last summer, could be back in full training for the start of next season.
Manager Chris Hutchings said: "The operation went smoothly and he has got a couple of weeks now, where he is basically be doing nothing and generally getting over the operation.
"After that he will be in during the close season, doing his rehabilitation. I haven't seen him play yet. He has only trained since I have been here."
