Port Vale sign O’Connor on loan?
Port Vale sign Shane O’Connor: Sky Sports reports that Port Vale have signed Ipswich Town’s Republic of Ireland U21 defender Shane O’Connor on loan until the New Year.
Valiants manager Micky Adams has reportedly been looking to strengthen his injury-hit squad ahead of today’s 5pm loan deadline. Vale have captain Marc Richards, Gareth Owen, Doug Loft, Ryan Burge, Ben Williamson and Lewis Haldane out of action.
Presuming the signing goes ahead, the defender would go straight into the Valiants squad to face Torquay United on Friday evening.
According to reports in the Staffordshire Sentinel, Adams is also targeting a second player to add to Port Vale’s ranks.
