The Valiants have announced their latest summer arrival, Ryan Croasdale, who has agreed a two-year deal at Vale Park (subject to EFL and FA approval), from the 01st July.
The 29-year-old midfielder, currently under contract with Stockport County, will become Darren Moore’s second signing of the summer, and will bolster Vale’s midfield department after previous spells with Fylde and Kidderminster. Croasdale has 346 career appearances to his name, with 28 goals from a defensive midfield position and will certainly provide competition for places in front of the Vale back four.
Known for his leadership and combative style of play, Croasdale joins The Vale following a
successful four-year stay with The Hatters which included two promotions, most recently as
part of Dave Challinor’s Sky Bet League Two title-winning side. Croasdale made 178 appearances for last season League Two Champions over four seasons, captaining the side 18 times throughout 2023/24 season.
Vale Manager Darren Moore said,
“Ryan is somebody that I admire, his willingness and drive to succeed will compliment us this coming season on and off the pitch.
“He is a team player that sets the highest standards for himself and having experienced
promotion with Stockport County last season, there’s no doubt that he will add depth and
experience to our midfield unit.
“We have fought off a lot of clubs, noticeable clubs, including some at League One level to
secure his services and we are all looking forward to welcoming Ryan to Vale Park.”
Moorlands Sport welcomes Ryan to the Valiants.
