Stef Oakes, the son of Showaddywaddy star Trevor, has signed for Walsall.

Colin Lee, Walsall's boss, told their club's official website:

"Stefan Oakes is potentially a Premiership player. He made a big impact during the time of Martin O'Neill at Leicester.

"This move will help him to resurrect his career and at 24, with the tremendous technical ability he possesses, time is on his side to climb back to the top."

"I have a lot of belief in this player, he is very gifted, and with the right encouragement I believe he can become a very good player for us."

Stef said:

"This is a good move for me.

"I have not seen much first team action recently, and joining Walsall is a great chance to re-start my career.

"I have a big point to prove to my previous club. I am grateful to Colin Lee for giving me this opportunity, and I aim to repay him in the best possible way.

"All I want to do now is to prove just how good I am by doing a good job for Walsall."
