Teenager returns to Vale Park after loan spell is ended
Port Vale have recalled 18 year-old midfielder Tommy McDermott from his loan spell with National League side Rochdale.
McDermott was named youth player of the year in 2022 and turned professional in July 2022. He made five appearances in the 2022-23 season and was sent on loan to Rochdale in August 2023. However, after only five appearances for Dale he has now returned to Burslem.
McDermott came on as a sub in Vale’s 2-1 loss to Wrexham in the Football League Trophy competition on Tuesday evening.
A statement from Rochdale said: “We would like to thank Tommy for his efforts whilst with the club and wish him all the best for the future.”
