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.
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 and re-signed 31-year old defender Connor Hall back from Colchester United for an undisclosed fee.[6]
Cup competitions
On 27 June, the draw for the first round of the EFL Cup was made, with Port Vale being drawn away against Barrow (League Two).[7]
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.[8][9]
