• Defender Derek Agyakwa joins Chorley on one-month loan deal
• Agyakwa, 20, joined Vale in the summer after leaving Watford
• Young defender featured in pre-season for the Vale, though he is yet to make first team debut for Darrell Clarke’s side

Defender Derek Agyakwa has joined Vanarama National League North side Chorley on a one-month loan.

Agyakwa, 20, joined the Vale in the summer after leaving Championship side Watford and featured in pre-season for Darrell Clarke’s side in pre-season.

He is yet to make his competitive debut for the Vale and this short-term deal will further the defender’s senior football experience, having previously featured in two Carabao Cup fixtures for the Hornets and briefly in a loan spell at Serie C side Como in the 2020/21 campaign.

We wish Derek well in his spell at Victory Park.
