First-Team Manager | Darren Moore

Lead First-Team Coach | Jamie Smith 

First-Team Coach | Simon Ireland

First-Team Coach | Martin Devaney

Goalkeeper Coach | Gary Walsh

Darren Moore said: “I’m really pleased that we’ve been able to assemble such a high-quality team of coaches as we prepare for our return to League One.

“Those who were with us last year played a massive part in helping us achieve promotion, and we’re delighted to welcome Martin to the club, as another top coach who will bring various qualities to the group.

"I've spoken many times about the togetherness we have here at Port Vale, and also want to mention the wider staff who support and contribute towards our first-team operation - we're all pulling in the same direction."

The news follows the departures of Lee Bradbury (to Dagenham & Redbridge) and Wayne Jacobs (due to health-related issues) earlier this summer, as well as the addition of Lee Darnbrough to the club’s recruitment team.

Everyone at Port Vale would like to welcome those joining the club, and again wish those departing the very best for the future.
