Stephen Wyn Roberts (born 24 February 1980) is a Welsh former professional footballer who most recently played for Walsall. He has also represented Wales at under-21 level.
Roberts began his career at hometown club Wrexham,[1] where he took part in the club's Football League Trophy win in 2005,[2] before eventually moving to Doncaster Rovers where he joined up with his brother Neil Roberts who eventually moved on to join Wrexham.
On 1 July 2008, Roberts opted to turn down a new one-year contract at Doncaster Rovers, to drop down to League One to play for Walsall on a two-year contract. He became the "Saddlers" first signing of the 2008 pre-season.[3]
On 8 October 2009, Roberts announced his retirement from the game at the age of 29 due to a persistent back injury.
