Former Nottingham Forest loanee Lee Tomlin wants to "enjoy football again" after signing for Walsall.
The attacker has signed for the League Two side as a free agent, penning a short-term deal until the end of the season.
He has been without a club since October, having had his Cardiff City contract terminated by mutual consent.
The 33-year-old has been hampered by injury and has not yet played this season, with his last competitive appearance coming for the Bluebirds in October 2020.
“I’m happy to be here,” he told Walsall’s official website.
“I had a phone call from the head coach when he got the job asking if I’d like to come in.
“I remember the first day I first came in, I enjoyed training, I enjoyed being around the lads and that’s all I want to do – enjoy football again.
“I’ve had a few months out now, got myself fit again so hopefully I can kick on and do my best for Walsall.”
Tomlin had a loan spell at the City Ground in 2018, where he netted four goals in 15 appearances.
“Lee, first of all didn’t want to move away having had a new baby but he ticked a lot of boxes and once somebody with his quality becomes available and you manage to get him, you’re over the moon,” Saddlers boss Michael Flynn said.
“Lee can unlock any defence in this league, he scores goals and he creates them too and so he will no doubt improve us from an attacking front.
“He’s been training with us recently and whilst we continue to work on his match fitness, he is eager, raring to go and ready to help the team.”
