Former Coventry City winger Chris Birchall has said that he has left Port Vale FC.
The Trinidad & Tobago international was offered a reduced contract by the Potteries based club but could not agree terms and had been with Robert Page at Northampton before appearing as a substitute for Vale in their 0-0 pre-season draw against Wolves.
Birchall said on Instagram: "Thanks to all the Vale fans for their support over the years. No longer a player but always a fan "
Birchall is now expected to embark on media work after graduating from Staffordshire University with a 1st in Professional Sports Writing & Broadcasting.
