Roberts has played every single minute for Walsall in League Two this term and has conceded just 19 times in 21 league appearances. 

The 24-year-old has registered three clean sheets in his last five league games and has kept four successive away shutouts across all competitions. In total, League Two leaders Walsall have leaked just two goals in the last five games in the league. 

His reflexes to deny Matt Dennis during the Saddlers' 0-0 draw against promotion rivals Notts County earned them a valuable point and Sadler has singled his goalkeeper out for praise.

"Myles is great. A very good keeper and very athletic. He played the first half of the season on loan at Partick Thistle and then it was a little bit sporadic in the second half," boss Sadler said.
