Incoming Port Vale supremo, Micky Adams, has already set about strengthening his League 2 squad with the addition of former Brighton midfielders Doug Loft and Tom Fraser.
Adams is said to be now turning his attention to other areas but McCombe, who won the Chairman's Player of The Year award is determined not to lose his starting place in the Valiants team. The former Bulls centre back lost his place following the departure of manager Lee Sinnott but fought to regain it and put in some gritty performances in the later part of the season.
Speaking to Vale's "The Wonder of you" website, McCombe said: -
"I was happy with the way I did in the second half of last season. But I want to play 40 games like that, not 15 or 20."
"A new manager means a clean slate for everyone, which will help some and hinder others. I've never met the manager, but that first week will be important for everyone. You never get a second chance to make a first impression."
