Three Former Bulls in Vale Squad

Three former Hereford United players are expected to start for Port Vale this afternoon at Edgar Street.

The three players are Lee Collins, John McCombe and Kris Taylor.

Collins was a young loanee from Wolves when he came to Edgar Street in November 2007 and made 13 appearances for the Bulls. Graham Turner was short of defenders at the time with both Karl Broadhurst and Dean Beckwith out through injury, and Trent McClenahan playing for the Olyroos.

McCombe joined Hereford United in July 2007 and made 29 appearances before a hand-ball in a match against Chester appeared to put him out of favour with Turner. He was released at the end of the season.

Taylor also joined the Bulls in July 2007 and made 40 appearances in his first season. Kept on for a second season he made another 43 appearances. Although offered a further deal he decided to leave Edgar Street.

All should receive a decent reception this afternoon.

Meanwhile Vale now have a 'permanent' manager as Micky Adams signed a deal with the club yesterday.
