The left back signed a three-and-a-half year deal in January 2008 after a long pursuit of the ex-Birmingham defender by boss Aidy Boothroyd.
Sadler signed for an initial fee of £750,000 and made his debut in the FA cup game with Wolverhampton Wanderers at Vicarage Road.
The defender is a product of the Blues' Academy and is a passionate and committed left back who has represented England youth at several age groups. It was here he got to know two of Boothroyd's backroom staff; Martin Hunter and Dick Bate.
He made his first team debut for Birmingham in a League Cup-tie at Leyton Orient in October 2002 but missed several seasons due to reoccurring injuries but he fought back to earn a recall towards the end of the 2005-06 season.
He made the left back position his own during the 2006/07 season and made 41 starts. However he wasn't a regular in the side when the Blues returned to the Premiership and he jumped at the opportunity to team up with the Hornets.
