Port Vale have signed midfielder Conor Grant following his release by promoted Plymouth Argyle.

The 28-year-old is Vale's fourth summer signing following Chris Sang, Connor Ripley and Alex Iacovitti.

Grant made 137 appearances in five seasons with Plymouth, who went up from League One as champions last season.

"He has great technical ability and is more than comfortable going forward with and without the ball at his feet," said boss Andy Crosby.

"He has the knowledge of this league that will add further experience to our group.

"Off the pitch, he is another driven, highly motivated person that has been part of a successful environment and hopefully, he can add that to our squad."

The two-year deal will be completed on 1 July when Grant's Plymouth contract expires.

The Valiants travel to Barnsley on the opening day of the new season on 5 August.
