The Club has confirmed that defender David Okagbue has joined Sky Bet League One side Peterborough United for an apparently significant six-figure fee.

21-year-old Okagbue initially arrived at the Pallet-Track Bescot Stadium on loan from Stoke City in the summer of 2023 and, after an impressive season, returned on a permanent basis last summer.

He went on to make 89 first-team appearances overall for the Saddlers and scored three times over the last two seasons. He made great strides over his two years here as he grew and developed as a player.

Thrilled to announce the signing of our new quick, big & powerful CB at last as we have been chasing a while on this one!

Welcome to 21 year old David Okagbue who we have signed from @WFCOfficial for a substantial six figure transfer fee on a 4 (plus1) year contract.
