Players leaving the Valiants
Colin Daniel – a free transfer signing from Mansfield Town, the wideman earned a reputation as a “supersub” with six goals during his stay with the Valiants.
Theo Robinson – the striker scored the club’s 6,000th league goal in a 4-1 win over Rochdale.
Achille Campion – the injury-plagued French striker managed one first-team goal – in a 2-2 draw with Bradford City. He has earned plaudits for his professionalism while at Vale Park.
Chris Neal – regarded as one of the club’s finest goalkeepers in recent years, Neal spent four years with the club totalling over 100 appearances and winning promotion in 2013.
Ryan McGivern – the defender became the club’s 17th full International when he was picked by Northern Ireland in 2014.
