We're pleased to confirm that experienced coach Richard O’Donnell has joined Jon Brady's backroom staff, and will be with the squad for tomorrow's league fixture against Huddersfield Town.
O’Donnell, who counts Hull City, Lincoln City and Blackpool among his former clubs, was most recently Assistant Head Coach at Shrewsbury Town.
Everyone at Vale Park would like to extend a warm welcome to Richard as he joins the club.
Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Jon Brady said: "Since Simon [Ireland] went, we needed support in that department because we have fixture after fixture. We need to make sure we're working across the whole group and connecting with all the players; Richard is a very good, experienced coach who will help us with that."
