CONNOR Hall has left Colchester United and re-joined their League Two rivals Port Vale.

The 31-year-old has joined the Valiants for an undisclosed fee, signing a contract until the summer of 2026, at Vale Park.

Port Vale boss Darren Moore told the Port Vale website: “Connor brings with him a wealth of experience and a style of play that our supporters will already be familiar with.

 

“First and foremost, Connor is a leader, as proven after being named as Colchester United’s captain last season, who will bring great balance to our back line.

"He is comfortable with the ball at his feet, loves to defend and is a real threat in both boxes.

“I am delighted to welcome him into our squad as we move towards next season.”
