The Port Vale Academy have announced that one graduate has been offered a professional deal while three others have had their scholarships extended.
The youth ranks have been a good source of players for the Valiants in recent years with the likes of Jack Shorrock, Rhys Walters, James Plant, Nathan Smith, Andrew Buah and Baylee Dipepa all making appearances in the senior side.
This season, the club have announced that defender Joe Williams has been handed his first professional deal after what the club called an “outstanding” season. Williams was named the club’s scholar of the season.
Meanwhile, Liam Brazier, Logan Cousins, and Zayn Sadiq have all been handed a third year of their scholarship with the club.
Alessandro Trapasso-Tully, Joao Silva Pevide, and Louis Francis have all been released.
Super proud of you Joe
Nobody deserves it more mate
Can’t wait for next season as your host family we could not be more proud UTV big Joe Williams is now a valiant come on
It’s to hoped that young guys are given a chance at the Vale. Obvious some will go out on loan but guys likeWalters, Plant, Shorrock are named week in week out for Div 1 duties. These guys are the future of the club and we should be proud of them. Vale forever.
