Port Vale have signed Fleetwood Town striker Ellis Harrison for an undisclosed fee and Oxford United goalkeeper Jack Stevens on a season-long loan deal.

Harrison, 28, scored six goals in 20 appearances for the Cod Army after joining from Portsmouth in January.

He began his career under Vale boss Darrell Clarke at Bristol Rovers, winning promotion to the EFL in 2015.

Stevens, 25, made 30 appearances for the U's last season.

The keeper also extended his deal with his parent side until the end of the 2024-25 season prior to joining Vale, who have won one and lost one in League One so far this season.

They have not revealed the length of the deal that former Wales Under-21 international Harrison has signed.

"I know a lot about Ellis because I made him, no disrespect to him, but Ellis would tell you that himself," Clarke said.

"He's a physical presence, he can run, and he has a lot of excellent elements to his game, especially once we have the hunger back into his game and he'll be a very good talent for us.

"When I had him at Bristol Rovers, we ended up selling him for a large fee to Ipswich, so I know very well about all his strengths, his character, how he is around the dressing room and that he is a winner."
