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]
