- Midfielder spent time on loan at Torquay United in 2013/14
- McCourt could be involved on Saturday when Vale head to Bradford
Development Squad midfielder Jak McCourt has joined Sky Bet League 1 side Port Vale on a one-month loan deal.
McCourt, who operates in the heart of midfield, heads to Vale Park for his second Football League loan spell after he spent time out at Torquay United in the 2013/14 season.
A set-play specialist who has the ability to score long-range goals, McCourt most recently played 90 minutes as captain for the Development Squad in their Barclays U21 Premier League draw with Everton on Monday.
McCourt will now look to help a Port Vale side that are yet to lose in the league having drawn three and won one of their opening four fixtures.
Rob Page’s outfit next head to Bradford on Saturday, and McCourt could be involved in the clash should his registration be cleared in time.
