Port Vale goalkeeper Jak Alnwick has signed a new two-and-a-half-year contract with the League One club.
Alnwick, 22, signed initially on a short-term contract following an eve-of-season ankle injury suffered by Chris Neal, Vale's first-choice goalkeeper for the past three seasons.
The ex-Newcastle keeper has extended his stay until the summer of 2018.
He has so far conceded just 15 goals in 16 appearances for Rob Page's side, who stand 11th in League One.
