The 2024–25 season is the 113th season in the history of Port Vale Football Club and their first season back in League Two since the 2021–22 season, following their relegation from League One in the previous season. The season covers the period from 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2025.

Overview[edit]

EFL League One[edit]

Ronan Curtis was the first signing of the summer transfer window, as the Republic of Ireland international winger chose to leave League Two rivals AFC Wimbledon to join the Vale on a three-year contract.^[1] He was followed by 29-year-old defensive midfielder Ryan Croasdale, who had been released by League Two champions Stockport County.^[2] The club then paid an undisclosed fee to sign 30-year old striker Jayden Stockley from fellow-relegated League One club Fleetwood Town, with manager Darren Moore describing him as "an experienced striker with a proven track record of scoring goals".^[3]

Competitions[edit]
