Issued via his social media accounts, Tom said: "To the Walsall family. Where to start?
"I've had such an enjoyable two years at the club and made so many great friends and memories, but unfortunately it's now time to move on.
"My main intention at the end of the season was always to stay but due to many different circumstances unfortunately this isn't the outcome.
"So, I just wanted to take this time to say thank you to everyone involved at the club for being so welcoming to me, my partner and my family!
"I've learnt so much during my time here and I'm so grateful to the club for taking a chance on me, I hope since joining I have paid the club and the fans back through my hard work, commitment and performances.
"Whilst I didn't achieve everything I wanted to at the club, I can't help but think of all the support I have received over the past two years for which I am extremely thankful!
"I wish the club nothing but the best for the future and I hope there are successful times ahead. UTS!"
