The 33 year-old joined the Valiants in 2014 and spent two years at the club making 55 appearances and scoring six times. He left the Vale in June 2016 to join Blackpool.

Atkinson agrees deal with Southend UtdNational League side Southend United have announced that former Valiant Will Atkinson has agreed a short-term deal with them. Atkinson has been without a club since leaving Port Vale in June 2020. “For a player of his calibre not to have a club even at non-league level, I thought it was a great opportunity for us,” boss Phil Brown enthused. Atkinson had two spells with the Valiants, initially joining on loan in 2007 and then returning on a short-term contract in 2019. In total, he made 23 appearances, scoring twice.
