Former Port Vale forward Louis Dodds has issued a heartfelt message to the Club’s fans following his departure.
"I'd like to say a special thank you to the fans of Port Vale - you've all been amazing.
Dodds told port-vale.co.uk:
He scored eight goals in 2015/16, equalling his second-best return for a campaign in Vale colours.
Dodds had been the Valiants’ longest serving player having signed for the Club in 2008. He went onto make over 300 appearances during his stay in Burslem.
It was announced on Thursday that the 29-year-old will be joining fellow Sky Bet League One side Shrewsbury Town on a two-year deal.
Everyone at Port Vale would like to wish Louis all the very best and thank him for his fantastic service to the Club over the last eight years.
