Tom Conlon player profile:

Locally-born midfielder Tom Conlon signed a one-year deal with the Valiants after impressing in pre-season friendly games.

Conlon had begun his career in the Stoke City youth team before being released and joining local non-league side Newcastle Town. Signed by Peterborough United in 2015 he made his league debut while on loan with Stevenage. He subsequently joined Stevenage on a permanent basis for whom he made over fifty first-team appearances.

After recovering from injury he made his debut in a game against Forest Green and soon became a regular in the Vale midfield and scored his first goal in a 6-2 home defeat to Lincoln City. He blotted his copy book with a red card in a Checkatrade Trophy game with Bristol Rovers but following a decent first season with the Valiants, Port Vale duly took up the option of a one-year extension to Conlon’s contract at the end of the season.

After a strong finish to the 2019-20 season, Conlon agreed a new two year contract in the summer of 2020.

He enjoyed a landmark 2020-21 season, being appointed club captain, becoming the first midfielder in years to reach double figures in the goalscoring charts and sweeping the board at the player of the year awards.
