Port Vale sign Leicester's Cover on loan

Joining Port Vale is Brandon Cover's first loan spell away from his parent club

Port Vale have signed midfielder Brandon Cover from Leicester City on a season-long loan.

The 20-year-old made his senior debut for the Foxes in last season's 3-0 FA Cup fourth-round win over Birmingham City.

It is his sole first-team appearance so far, but he has played six games for City's Under-21s in the EFL Trophy.

He is Vale's 14th summer signing and although born in Colchester, he won his first international cap for Jamaica against Jordan last year.

Vale boss Darren Moore said: "He is a versatile, combative player who also enjoys getting on the ball and I’m sure he will be a real asset for us as the season progresses.

“Brandon also has a brilliant mindset and wants to use this opportunity to better himself both on and off the pitch."

Port Vale have taken four points from their first three League Two games this season and are at home to Moore's former club Doncaster Rovers on Saturday.
