Port Vale have been boosted by the news that two of the club's recent acquisitions have agreed to sign one-year contracts at Vale Park.

Former Manchester United youngster Ashley Dodd and ex-Bromsgrove striker Richard Burgess have joined defender Michael Walsh in agreeing new deals.

Vale boss Brian Horton told BBC Radio Stoke: "At times I feel you need some players in your set-up who are hungry.

"And these two players seem to fit into that catergory well."
