Some info mainly from Wikipedia about Valentine:
Ryan Valentine (born 19 August 1982) is a footballer who plays for League Two side Darlington. He has also played for the Wales U21 team.
He started his career as a trainee with Everton and was first signed by Darlington in July 2002 and moved to Wrexham on a free transfer in the summer of 2006.
He was called up to the Wales national football team to face the Czech Republic and Brazil, but has yet to earn a cap.
In the 2006/07 season he played a vital part in Wrexham's survival bid, as he scored the penalty in Wrexham's must win game on 5 May 2007 against Boston United which levelled the score at 1-1. Wrexham won the game 3-1 and stayed in the Football League.
It was announced on 18 January 2008 that Ryan has left Wrexham and rejoined his former club Darlington. Last season he made 48 appearances for them. However current money problems at Darlington has led him to look for another club.
