Teenage forward Dipepa signs new Port Vale deal

Baylee Dipepa has made 22 of his 26 appearances for Port Vale off the bench

Port Vale and England Under-17 forward Baylee Dipepa has signed a contract extension with the League Two club, which runs until the summer of 2027.

The 17-year-old made his senior debut for Vale last season, and went on to score three goals in 26 appearances.

Valiants academy graduate Dipepa, who scored one goal in four appearances for Under-17 European Championships earlier this year, only signed his first professional deal with the club in January.

"Last season was a real breakthrough year for Baylee and he grasped every opportunity that came his way with both hands," Port Vale boss Darren Moore told the club website.

“For such a young professional, Baylee has proven that he has all of the right attributes to become a real top-class player if he continues with his hard work and development."
