Port Vale sign Jake Taylor: the Valiants have confirmed the signing of the former Nottingham Forest loanee on a permanent deal.
Port Vale have confirmed the news that 22 year old Taylor has agreed a three and half year deal with the club.
The former Forest man becomes the club’s first signing of the January 2020 transfer window.
After impressing while on trial with the club, Jake Taylor first joined the Valiants on loan in August 2019. He forced his way into the first-team with a string of fine performances. His form prompted Port Vale to make a permanent transfer bid in the January 2020 window but it was rejected. In October, the midfielder joined League Two rivals Scunthorpe United on loan but the move came to an end in the New Year as Forest prepared to sell the youngster.

Great news! We need more creativity in midfield as well as additional goal scoring potential. We have missed Manny who is great when he is fit but so often isn’t.

Absolutely fantastic! Best news to come out of Vale Park this season. Potentially a great player who will improve the team considerably.
Just a shame for John Askey that he wasn’t at Vale to welcome him back.
Good luck and welcome back to Vale Jake!

Fantastic signing. Quality goal-scoring midfielder. Long deal too. I reckon he’ll be our next six figure sale in a couple of years, if he continues for us as he did last time. Have Forest got a sell on clause?
