The 34-year-old, who featured for the Saddlers on trial during pre-season, is yet to find a new club since leaving Bristol Rovers at the end of the 2024-25 campaign. 

Sawyers played five times for Walsall in pre-season but was unable to land a deal, nine years on from his previous spell at Bescot.

Sadler has revealed that Sawyers is purely training with the squad at Essington to keep fit, as part of a promise he made back in the summer.
