Skipper puts pen to paper on new deal

Port Vale is pleased to announce that Doug Loft has signed a one-year contract with the club.

The midfielder put pen to paper today, in a deal which sees him commit to Micky Adams’ men until the summer of 2014.

The midfielder reported back with the rest of the squad for pre-season training last Thursday, as Vale prepare for life in League One.

Said manager Micky Adams: “Doug has made a telling contribution to the squad during his time at Port Vale, both on and off the pitch, and I’m pleased he has decided to sign a new deal with us.

“Sometimes these things take time and it needs to be right for both parties. Doug was always a part of our plans and I’m looking forward to working with him for a further season.”

Added Doug: “It was never in doubt that I wanted to stay with the club, especially after being part of the side which won promotion last season.

“We have all been working hard in pre-season since reporting back last week and I know that everyone is looking forward to the season ahead.”
