Mal Benning player profile
Port Vale FC signed former Mansfield Town defender Mal Benning on a one year deal in June 2021.
Manager Darrell Clarke provided his thoughts following the signing saying: “Mal is an experienced player at this level and has proven his ability over six seasons at Mansfield where he’s played regular football. He is familiar with the demands of the division and is still at a very good age considering how many EFL games he has got under his belt. We are looking forward to welcoming Mal for pre-season and integrating him in the squad.”
After a slow start to the season where Benning failed to force his way into the line-up the wingback really came into his own in the final third of the campaign. Benning played a key role in Vale’s play-off victory including scoring the third goal at Wembley stadium as the club secured promotion to League One.
He then agreed a new contract with the club in the summer of 2022 before leaving the club just before the start of the season as he switched to Shrewsbury Town.
