Walsall have signed experienced winger Albert Adomah on a one-year contract following his release by Queen's Park Rangers.

The 36-year-old made 18 appearances for Rangers last season, 16 of them in the Championship, but following a trial at Bescot, has agreed to drop two divisions to continue his career.

He is Walsall's sixth summer signing ahead of their opening League Two game of the new campaign at home to Morecambe on 10 August.

"I started off in League Two at my local club Barnet nearly 16 years ago, so now I鈥檓 back in League Two where the journey started," he told the club website. "With my experience, hopefully I can help the youngsters."

Adomah has also played for Bristol City, Middlesbrough, Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest - winning promotion from the Championship with both Boro and Villa.

He joined QPR in 2020 and scored six goals in 121 league games for the west London club, where he was often used from the bench.

"There were some options that I had in that right wing-back spot that I was considering but then Albert came in and completely changed all of that with the way he鈥檚 gone about things, the person that he is, the way he conducts himself around the group and most importantly what he does on the grass," said Saddlers head coach Mat Sadler.

鈥淗is professionalism and dedication to keep playing and put himself as the best athlete he can be is unquestionable and that delivery and quality in the final third will be a real force for us this season."
