Martin Sherif

Martin Sherif's Port Vale debut against Stevenage on Tuesday 17th February marked another milestone moment in the club's 150-year history, as the striker became the 1,500th player to represent the Valiants in a senior competitive fixture.

The on-loan Everton man stepped off the bench in the Sky Bet League One clash, replacing goalscorer Jayden Stockley in the 51st minute at Lamex Stadium.
