Port Vale have appointed former Northampton Town boss Jon Brady as their new manager on an 18-month contract.
The 50-year-old Australian replaces Darren Moore, who was sacked on 28 December after a run of seven defeats in nine games left the League One side bottom of the table, 10 points adrift of safety.
Brady, who resigned as Cobblers manager just over a year ago, has the task of trying to keep Vale, with just four wins from 23 games this season, in the third tier.
“We’re delighted to welcome Jon to Vale Park as the club’s new manager,” Vale chief executive Matt Hancock said in a club statement., external
“Jon was the standout candidate at the end of a thorough recruitment process, with his experience and passion for returning to management here at Port Vale really shining through.”
