Walsall trial freed Wolves winger
Walsall have invited free agent midfielder Lewis Gobern for a trial following his release by Wolves.
The Birmingham-born player's deal at Molineux runs out today, after the right-winger failed to earn a new deal with the Premier League new boys.
He is now set to join up with the Saddlers when they report back for pre-season training on Thursday.
Gobern has been blighted by a succession of serious knee and hamstring injuries, with his last appearance for Wolves as far back as December 2006.
The 24-year-old spent the second half of last season on loan at Walsall's League One rivals Colchester, playing against the Saddlers in their 2-0 victory over the Us at the Banks's Stadium in February.
Boss Chris Hutchings is keen to bring in a recognised wide player, after strikers Troy Deeney and Alex Nicholls filled in there last term.
Deeney began the season wide on the right under Jimmy Mullen but reverted to a striking role to great success under Hutchings, netting 10 goals in the last 22 games of the campaign.
The manager instead used Nicholls out wide, but the striker made no secret of his preference for playing up top.
