Dean Stokes player profile:
Dean Stokes was a left-back signed by Port Vale FC from Halesowen Town for £5,000 in the summer of 1993-1993 promotion season. The player was a pacy full-bak who was brought in to provide competition to Allen Tankard.
Stokes broke through into the first-team in December 1993 and made 21 appearances as Port Vale were promoted at the end of the 1993-1994 season.
However, after an ankle injury and surgery he barely featured in the following 1994-1995 season. He came back into Port Vale first-team contention towards the end of the 1995-1996 season but by then Allen Tankard had largely secured his place as the club’s first-choice left-back.
Stokes was released by the Valiants in the summer of 1998 and later had a two year stay at Rochdale as well as a spell with Leek Town. After retiring from playing he then had spells as manager of Alsager Town and Rochdale Town.
