Port Vale have signed former Carlisle United forward Harry McKirdy on a one-year contract.

The 23-year-old, who came through Aston Villa's academy, scored 11 times in 38 games in all competitions last term, but was released by Carlisle in May.

Vale's chief executive Colin Garlick said: "This is a young man who knows where the goal is.

"We have made some quality additions to the squad and that should conclude our business in the transfer window."
