Defender returns to Fulham

Fulham have exercised a clause in the loan agreement between the two clubs to recall defender Jack Grimmer from his loan spell as their injury situation means he is likely to be involved in their first team plans for this weekend.

Jack leaves Port Vale with everybody’s best wishes after the youngster impressed right from day one, both on and off the pitch.

Vale boss Micky Adams said: “Jack has been a pleasure to work with and I am sure if he continues to learn he will have a big future in the game and we wish him all the best on his return to Fulham.”
