The 22-year-old Roberts was at Liverpool on schoolboy forms before joining Crewe, where he made four League appearances for the club.
Walsall are of course visiting Accrington on Saturday and the timing of this deal could not have been better for ourselves. Roberts scored Accrington's winner on Saturday away at Torquay United.
