Midfielder Kieron Morris signed permanently for Tranmere Rovers in June on a two-year deal.
The 25-year-old spent the second half of 2018/19 on loan with TRFC at Prenton Park where he made 14 appearances as Micky Mellon’s men won promotion to Sky Bet League One.
Hereford-born Morris began his playing career after coming through the academy ranks at his parent club having previously been at Hereford United’s Centre of Excellence as a youngster.
After earning a professional contract at the Bescot Stadium, he made his Walsall debut in a League Cup defeat away to then-Premier League side Stoke City in August 2013, aged 19.
Also spending time at non-league clubs Worcester City and Leamington to aid his football development, Morris would make his league debut for Walsall in a 1-1 draw at Brunton Park back in April 2014.
A few months earlier, Morris had gone on trial with Icelandic side IBV.
The following campaign saw him score his first goal for Walsall in a League Cup win at Southend United in August 2014.
Morris would go on to make 24 appearances spread across two clubs that season, with the player loaned out to National League side Wrexham in January 2015.
Morris played nine times during a three-month stay at the North Wales outfit, notably scoring the winner in a 1-0 derby victory over local-rivals Chester before adding another to his tally in a 4-1 win at Altrincham two games later.
He returned to Walsall after his loan at the Racecourse Ground expired in April 2015 and would finish the season well, becoming a regular in the first-team where he scored two goals against Crawley Town and Swindon Town.
In the 2015/16 campaign, Morris found himself a key member of Walsall’s side, making 42 appearances along the way, as the Saddlers reached the League One Play-Offs.
Morris featured 143 times in total at the Bescot Stadium before initially linking up with TRFC on loan in January, playing his part as Rovers secured a back-to-back promotion under the Wembley Stadium arch.
He agreed a permanent contract at Tranmere in June ahead of the 2019/20 Sky Bet League One season.
