Port Vale rumour – website links Port Vale midfielder to move
In an article seemingly generated by a social media post, website The Real EFL is linking Port Vale midfielder Brad Walker with a move to Hartlepool United.
The rumour comes from an Instagram post from Walker, which says he is training at Seaton Carew beach, just a few miles away from the Hartlepool ground.
However, Walker is from the local area and presumably still has family connections there. With the Valiants not in action this weekend, Walker and other players may have taken the chance to catch-up with family and friends during the New Year period. The innocent reason for the post may simply be that Walker has gone up to visit family and is showing his dedication to the club by training while there.
Nevertheless, the post has led to speculation that the 26 year-old, whose spell at Vale Park has been hit by injuries, could make a return to the club where he started his professional career.
In our view, it’s a somewhat tenuous link right now…
