Former Valiants – loanee Ryan Edmondson moves to Carlisle United
Former Port Vale loanee Ryan Edmondson has moved to League Two side Carlisle United on a two year contract, the club has confirmed.
Edmondson was a successful and popular loanee during his time at Vale Park last season.
Carlisle manager Manager Paul Simpson commented on the move saying: “I think Ryan is a really good signing for us. He’s a player I know, he was involved in my England U19s, so I know of him and I’ve watched a lot of him.
“He’s had a bit of an up and down time with his loan moves, some have worked and some haven’t. He was unfortunate up at Aberdeen that he got injured.
“I wanted a big target man, he’s a bit of a throwback, but I wanted an old-school number 9. He absolutely works his socks off, he can get goals and get on the end of things.
“He can hold it up and create, and he’s a bloody pest for centre backs. “
