Tranmere Rovers have completed the permanent signing of 23-year-old Lewis Warrington from Walsall, bringing the defensive midfielder back to Prenton Park after an earlier loan spell.
Warrington has signed a two-and-a-half-year contract, reinforcing a squad that has been looking to add stability in the middle of the park during the January transfer window.
A product of Everton’s academy, Warrington began his professional career at Goodison Park before gaining valuable experience on loan at clubs including Tranmere Rovers, Fleetwood Town, and Plymouth Argyle.
Over the past few seasons, he also featured for Leyton Orient and Walsall, earning praise for his composure on the ball and his ability to break up opposition attacks.
Warrington’s versatility in defensive midfield allows him to shield the backline while also contributing to attacking transitions, making him a key addition for Tranmere as they look to strengthen their core.
Upon finalising the move, Warrington described returning to Tranmere as “a special feeling,” adding that the club has always held significance for him and his family.
His familiarity with the club, combined with the experience he has gathered at other League One and League Two sides, is expected to help him integrate quickly and make an immediate impact.
Tranmere’s management expressed confidence in Warrington’s ability to anchor the midfield and add consistency to the team’s performances.
The signing reflects the club’s ambition during the mid-season window, aiming to push up the League Two table and secure a strong finish to the campaign.
For supporters, Warrington’s return is a welcome boost, offering both a sense of continuity and fresh energy in a season where every point counts.
As he dons the Tranmere Rovers shirt once again, fans will be eager to see the midfielder take on a leading role in the heart of the team.
