21-year-old Wakefield, who also started last week's Saddlers' pre-season clash with Rushall Olympic, is a product of the Doncaster Rovers academy and signed pro-terms in 2012.

Liam made just ten first-team appearances for Rovers, and has also enjoyed a loan spell with Bradford Park Avenue.

Wakefield was offered a six-month deal by the Keepmoat Stadium club but has decided to seek employment elsewhere.
