Romaine Theodore Sawyers (born 2 November 1991) is a professional footballer who plays for Walsall as a midfielder.

A West Bromwich Albion academy graduate, he had brief spells on loan at Port Vale, Shrewsbury Town and Walsall. He signed with Walsall in July 2013, following his release from West Brom.

Club career

West Bromwich Albion

Sawyers first made the West Bromwich Albion substitute bench for the final game of the 2008–09 season. Following this, he won his first professional contract with the club.[3] However, he spent most of the 2009–10 season nursing a knee injury.

On 21 January 2011, he joined Jim Gannon's Port Vale on a one-month loan, along with Kayleden Brown.[4][5] He made his debut for the League Two club two days later, in a 1–0 defeat to Cheltenham Town at Vale Park, replacing Adam Yates.[6] However this was to be his only game for the club, as the pair returned to The Hawthorns after the loan spell ended with Sawyers having made no further first team appearances.[7]

On 27 January 2012, he joined Graham Turner's League Two Shrewsbury Town on a one-month loan,[8] and the following day he was named as an unused substitute for the 2–0 win at Hereford United.[9] He made his first league start against Torquay United at Plainmoor on 11 February.[10] On 25 February, it was announced his loan had been extended until the end of the 2011–12 season.[11] In total he made two starts and five substitute appearances for the "Shrews".

Walsall

Sawyers joined League One side Walsall on loan in March 2013; "Saddlers" manager Dean Smith said that "He's a talented lad who can play-off the front-man... I know that Albion rate him highly, so it's good to have him on board."[12] He made four substitute appearances for the club. He was released by West Brom in June 2013.[13]

Following his release from West Brom, Sawyers signed a permanent one-year deal at Walsall in July 2013; Dean Smith stated that he saw potential and an excellent attitude in the player despite his limited playing time on loan.[14] On 17 August 2013, he marked his first senior start for Walsall with his first goal from 25 yards in a 1–1 draw with Notts County at the Bescot Stadium.[15]

International career

Sawyers represented Saint Kitts and Nevis under-23s in the second round of the Caribbean Football Union's qualifying phase for the 2012 CONCACAF Men's Pre-Olympic Tournament. In the three games the team played, he scored four goals.[16]

He was called up to the full team for the qualification for the 2012 Caribbean Cup. He scored a goal and claimed an assist on his debut, in a 2–0 win over Anguilla at the Warner Park Sporting Complex in Basseterre.[17]
