Adomah joined Walsall from Queens Park Rangers last summer and his first season at the Bescot Stadium saw him make the 700th appearance of his 17-year career.
"I feel really loved here by the supporters and I want to keep playing as much as I possibly can and helping the team wherever I can as well," Adomah said.
"Unfortunately, last season didn't finish with the moment that we all wanted it to but I really enjoyed my time here and it was an easy decision for me to decide to stay here for another year."
Adomah is the second member of the Saddlers squad in the last few days to agree fresh terms ahead of the new season after midfielder Ronan Maher signed on for another two years.

Hancock in action for the Diamonds -Credit:SNS Group 'I've been in Scotland for five years now and it's always been the plan to get myself back down south into the EFL. Advertisement 'I've made a name for myself up there and it's about time I came down and did it down here.
