Port Vale Football Club can now confirm our retained and released list following the conclusion of the 21/22 Sky Bet League Two season.

The following players remain in contract with the football club for the 2022/23 season: Lucas Covolan; Dan Jones; Brad Walker; Connor Hall; David Worrall; Ben Garrity; James Wilson; Tom Conlon; Alex Hurst; Chris Hussey; Aaron Martin; Jake Taylor; Harry Charsley; Sammy Robinson; and Tom Pett.

Following our success in the Sky Bet League Two Play-Off Final, Port Vale are looking to re-engage James Gibbons, Mal Benning and Jamie Proctor – whose contracts will expire on June 30.

The club is also invoking its option to extend the contracts of Nathan Smith and Aidan Stone which will extend their current deal, at this stage, for a further 12 months.

Port Vale would also like to wish David Amoo all the best and thank him for his service to Port Vale after his release on the expiration of his contract.

Kian Harratt, Ryan Edmondson and Tomas Holy – who were on loan at Vale Park – will return to their parent clubs. Port Vale would like to thank them all for their service.

The club would like to thank every contracted and loan player for their contributions this season which have helped Port Vale to secure promotion to Sky Bet League One.

Amoo was one of our first signings under Carol and has been a very decent winger for the last three years. At times he's been very good.

Hope he finds another club.

[PV1973]

Amazed it’s only Amoo gone, but on the other hand great to see us retain some kind of squad continuity. We must be aiming for a much bigger squad then next year. 

[Joe B]

I think Benning has/will sign.

Proctor will probably think about whether he wants the physical strain of another season; two surgeries, a lot of rehab, and an inability to train fully will take it's toll on a man with a young family. I wouldn't be shocked if he packs it in.

Gibbo; fingers crossed. I think one or two other clubs will speak to him.

Pleased with that and that Proctor has been offered a deal..........he can study to be a financial advisor on the bench for the first hour each game, then come on to terrorise the opposition and score the winner in the last 30! 🤣

He was very good in his first year but appears to have lost pace and confidence. I reckon a league 2 team will snap him up.

It says Worrall under contract? I was certain he was up for renewal this summer?

[ollyandpatch]

So we had more players under contract than I thought?

Jones, Hurst, Martin will all struggle in league 1.

[Guppys left peg]

I’m pleased we’re going for the evolution rather than revolution approach now. 

Must have done the Worrall extension during the season as am certain his deal was expiring but either way I’m really pleased we still have him on board. Get Procs, Mal and Gibbo sorted and that’s a great start.

Thanks to Amoo, been a really good servant to the club and wish him well in his next venture.

I think Proctor will stay but the rumour spreading is that Smith may quell join Stockport on a more lucrative contract: I hope this is wrong but I hope Gibbons, Proctor and Worrall all sign

We've triggered a 12 month extension. They'll have to pay.

Is there still a limit on squad size, or did the EFL scrap it?
