PORT Vale have signed Manchester United left-back Adam Eckersley until the end of the season. The 22-year-old impressed in two games on loan for the Valiants in October before his stay was cut short by a knee injury. His arrival on a free transfer comes on the recommendation of assistant manager Dean Glover, who recruited Eckersley while he was caretaker manager. Eckersley becomes manager Lee Sinnott's third signing, following loan deals for Wolves' midfielder Mark Salmon and Manchester City midfielder Marc Laird.
Eckersley showed quality on his Vale debut at home to Brighton, despite being sent off after 79 minutes for a second yellow card.
His arrival signals Sinnott's determination to make major changes to his squad
Sinnott said: "We are delighted to sign Adam. We need to bring in faces and Adam has a good pedigree."
