Midfielder goes on loan to Southport
Young Port Vale midfielder Gary O’Neil has joined Skrill Premier side Southport on loan.
O’Neil is a member of the Vale development squad and he will link up with former Development squad coach Jimmy Bell, who is now assistant manager at Southport.
The former Wolves youth team captain is highly regarded at Vale Park and has been included in several first-team squads.
Vale will doubtless be hoping that O’Neil will use the move to force his way into the starting eleven, in the same manner that Jordan Hugill did following his prolific loan spell at Gateshead.
