What happened: Walsall have announced the signing of forward Andy Dallas on a two-year contract, set to commence on July 1. The 26-year-old joins the Saddlers on a free transfer from Barnsley, marking the first addition to the squad for head coach Lee Grant since his appointment in May.

Why it matters: The move provides Lee Grant with a proven goalscorer as he begins his tenure at the Bescot Stadium. Dallas' arrival signals Walsall's intent to compete for promotion in League Two following his productive 17-goal campaign in the National League last term.

What to watch: The forward will link up with his new teammates for pre-season training ahead of the 2026-27 campaign.
