The 2024–25 season is the 113th season in the history of Port Vale Football Club and their first season back in League Two since the 2021–22 season, following their relegation from League One in the previous season. The season covers the period from 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2025.

Manager Darren Moore signed twelve permanent and four loan players whilst allowing eight to leave. An opening-day win at Salford City seemed to justify a sense of positivity, only for this to be followed with one point from three games – including a 4–0 defeat at Barrow.

Overview

EFL League One

Ronan Curtis was the first signing of the summer transfer window, as the Republic of Ireland international winger chose to leave League Two rivals AFC Wimbledon to join the Vale on a three-year contract.[1] He was followed by 29-year-old defensive midfielder Ryan Croasdale, who had been released by League Two champions Stockport County.[2] The club then paid an undisclosed fee to sign 30-year old striker Jayden Stockley from fellow-relegated League One club Fleetwood Town, with manager Darren Moore describing him as "an experienced striker with a proven track record of scoring goals".[3] Sam Hart, a 27-year-old left-back who had previously played for the club on loan in 2016, was then signed to a two-year deal after choosing to leave relegated club Sutton United.[4] Lorent Tolaj, a 22-year old Swiss striker, was signed for an undisclosed fee after a prolific season in the National League with Aldershot Town.[5]

On 1 July, the club brought in 34-year old goalkeeper Ben Amos following his release from League One club Wigan Athletic, and re-signed 31-year old defender Connor Hall back from Colchester United for an undisclosed fee.[6] The signings continued with midfielder George Byers, who joined on a three-year contract following his release from Championship club Sheffield Wednesday.[7] The first under contract player to leave the club was striker Ryan Loft, who was sold to Cambridge United.[8] The spending spree then continued with a "six-figure" fee for 23-year old Irish striker Ruari Paton from Scottish Championship club Queen's Park.[9] Going the other way north to Scotland was Alex Iacovitti, who was signed by Scottish Premiership club St Mirren for an undisclosed fee.[10] Ben Heneghan, a 30-year old centre-back known for his "combative, no-nonsense style of play", was signed on a free transfer from Fleetwood Town to replace Iacovitti.[11] Benicio Baker-Boaitey, a 20-year old winger from Brighton & Hove Albion, became the first loanee of the season.[12] Kyle John, an Everton youth-team graduate, was also signed to a 12-month deal following a long-term injury to Mitch Clark.[13] Bookmakers made the Vale fifth favourites for promotion.[14]

Ben Garrity was appointed as the new captain and he scored both goals in a 2–0 victory at Salford City on the opening day of the season.[15][16] Recruitment continued as Diamond Edwards was signed from Southampton's Academy on a 12-month contract.[17] The first home fixture of the season was a 0–0 draw with Tranmere Rovers in front of a crowd of 8,102.[18] Vale fell to a 4–0 defeat at Barrow, with all four goals coming in the second half.[19] Summariser Phil Sproson said that he was shocked by the late collapse and that the game had looked balanced until the second goal was scored on 79 minutes.[20] On transfer deadline day, Vale brought in 20-year-old Jamaica international Brandon Cover on loan from Leicester City, attacking midfielder Rico Richards on loan from Aston Villa, and forward Antwoine Hackford on loan from Sheffield United respectively.[21][22][23] On the morning following transfer deadline day, it was announced that Funso Ojo had left the club on a season-long loan to Shrewsbury Town, whilst Baylee Dipepa was sold to Southampton for an undisclosed fee.[24][25] The month concluded with a 3–2 home defeat by Doncaster Rovers, with Luke Molyneux scoring a brace and assisting 38-year-old Billy Sharp for Doncaster's other goal.[26]

On 7 September, Vale recorded a 4–1 win at Newport County, who ended the game with nine men.

Finances

The club maintained a similar budget to the 2023–24 season despite having been relegated and enjoying less revenue.[27]

Cup competitions

Following their quarter-final appearance the previous season, Vale returned to their usual poor showing in the EFL Cup by losing 3–2 away to Barrow (League Two) in the first round, in a game that saw the first goal in a Vale shirt for new signing Paton, and a first career goal for Sang.[28]

In the group stage of the EFL Trophy, Port Vale were drawn into Northern Group B alongside Salford City (League Two), Wrexham (League One) and Wolverhampton Wanderers U21.[29][30] They returned to Salford for the second time in ten days and repeated their league result by claiming a 2–0 victory, with Edwards scoring five minutes into his debut.[31] A 2–2 draw with Wolves U21 concluded with a 5–4 penalty shoot-out victory, with first competitive club goals for forwards Tolaj and Curtis.[32]
