Port Vale boss Lee Sinnott has made his first two signings for next season as he rebuilds his squad for a promotion tilt in League Two.Left-sided midfielder Rob Taylor has joined from Nuneaton after impressing for the reserves, while Anthony Griffith has arrived from Doncaster after spending the season on loan with Halifax. The pair will join up with the Valiants when they return for pre-season training.

Taylor told the club's official website: "I've signed a two-year contract and I'm excited about the prospect of playing for Port Vale.

"It's a massive opportunity for me, one that has come just at the right time for me as I have just finished my studies at university."

Griffith, 21, added: "I found out about the interest from Port Vale about a week ago and as soon as I heard I was jumping for joy. There has been some interest from one or two other clubs, but I can't wait to get out there and play football and show what I can do.

"I would describe myself as a hard-tackling midfielder with a similar style to Roy Keane and Paul Ince, but most of all I am a hard worker who will give my all."
