Roofe Returns Home For Promotion Bid
Striker Thrilled With Full Circle Moment
“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 shootout at halftime 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.”
Saddlers’ Boss Delighted With Extra Option
Walsall boss Mat Sadler is delighted to have added Roofe to his striking options as the club prepares for the hectic Christmas period.
“I’m really pleased that the deal’s over the line.”
“Everyone knows Kemar’s name in English football because he’s a fantastic striker and has been throughout his career.”
“He’s still very, very hungry to achieve things, and he’s only 32, so there’s loads left in the tank, which is exciting from my point of view.”
Sadler already has the likes of Aaron Pressley and on-loan Daniel Kanu to pick from up front, but he is delighted to add the experienced frontman to his squad.
“It’s another really good option for us at that top end of the pitch and something that we all know we wanted, that extra body in the building, and hopefully Kemar can continue to show what a great career he’s had.”
“He’s a great guy, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed working with him so far, and I look forward to working with him further.”
