Following the news that he'd agreed terms on a short-term contract at the Pallet-Track Bescot Stadium, Kemar Roofe has spoken of his desire to push the team forward.Roofe, who has been training with the first-team at the Essington Training Ground, is keen to build upon the relationships he has already developed and contribute both on and off the pitch.
Born in Walsall, Kemar is no stranger to the Bescot Stadium, and is keen to make his mark, speaking via the club's official website, he said; "I'm really happy to have signed for Walsall.
"It’s my hometown club so it means that little bit more to me and I feel even more at home now having built relationships at the training ground – the staff and players have been amazing with me and I just can’t wait to get stuck in and help the team and the club achieve its goals.
"My football journey probably started at Walsall l when I was five — I've got pictures of me at the Pallet-Track Bescot Stadium doing the penalty shoot at half-time so to be able to remember that moment and kind of do a full circle is amazing so hopefully I'll be able to do what I did back then and score some goals for the Saddlers.
"I spoke with the gaffer at length, and he’s given me lots of confidence – he’s told me to bring what I usually do with my quality and experience and help the team push forward.
"I’m excited to see what the future brings and I just can’t wait to get started."
