Jordan Hugill

Comments:

The striker was signed for Port Vale’s development squad in the summer of 2013.

He was allowed to go on loan to Gateshead and after a prolific loan spell, he was handed a shock start ahead of Tom Pope for Vale’s game against Crawley.

Hugill impressed with his workrate during that game and scored his first goal against Swindon in November.

He finished the season with four goals and there were high hopes that Vale had a future star on their hands.

However, Hugill decided to move to Preston North End with Vale earning an undisclosed compensation fee.
