Championship duo keen on Vale?
The Sentinel newspaper claims that two Championship players have approached the club with a view to a possible move.
According to the newspaper, chairman Norman Smurthwaite has said that “the club has been contacted by two Championship players looking to move back to the area next season.”
Players with Vale connections in the Championship include Doncaster striker Billy Paynter and Sheff Wed defender Anthony Gardner while former Stoke City players include Liam Lawrence (Barnsley), Ricardo Fuller (Blackpool) and Martin Paterson (Huddersfield).
The last player to return to Vale Park for a second spell was winger Chris Birchall who rejoined the club in January 2013.
