Walsall have re-signed midfielder Florent Cuvelier on a one-year contract.

The 23-year-old previously had two loan spells with the Saddlers in 2012 and was a free agent following his release from Sheffield United.

Cuvelier becomes the Saddlers' third summer signing after the arrivals of Erhun Oztumer and Kacy Milan Butterfield.

"I'm delighted with this opportunity and so happy to be back at Walsall," said Cuvelier. "I had a very successful loan spell here a few years ago and I loved every second I spent at the club.

"I've got some great memories and some great friends here. I've worked with Jon Whitney before and I've played with Dean Holden. They are people who have seen me play at my very best.

"I had a good relationship with the fans when I was last here and I always gave my all for the club and that's what I intend to do this time.

"I'm hungrier than ever to have a successful season and I am so happy to be here again. This is a club I love and really want to play for."

Cuvelier started his career at Portsmouth before a move to Stoke and played 40 games for the Saddlers during two loan spells four years ago.

Manager Jon Whitney added: "I am really excited about helping Flo fulfil his potential. We both agreed that Walsall was the best option for him due to our football philosophy and Flo's previous loan periods with the club.

"He became a fans' favourite during his last time here due to his wholehearted and committed performances."
