Former Bristol City playmaker Lee Tomlin is set to join League Two Walsall with new manager Michael Flynn eager to strengthen his side.
Tomlin, 33, has been without a club since October after his contract was mutually terminated by Cardiff following a series of groin injuries. His relationship also became fractious with then-manager Mick McCarthy.
The player was initially training with non-League Wrexham and despite the eagerness to sign him permanently, the two parties failed to come to an agreement.
