Deklan Wynne (Port Vale | England)

Makes the bench, but is an unused sub as Port Vale lose 1-2.

PV slip to 22nd, given Cheltenham Town beat Crocombe's Burton Albion.

It's still very tight between these 3 teams. 2 are almost certain to drop to League Two.

Penultimate round. Port Vale (22nd, 40 pts) travel to Jack Iredale's Bolton Wanderers (3rd). PV lose and Crocombe's Burton Albion (43 pts) win or draw, and Port Vale confirmed as relegated.

Bolton meanwhile still a chance of 2nd and automatic promotion. Odds against Vale, which might help Wynne get a longer deal if they go down to L2.

Edit - Wynne & Iredale both on respective benches. Welsh raised newish Socceroo Gethin Jones starts for Bolton.

Port Vale lost 2-0, and are now confirmed as relegated with one game left.

Iredale didn't get on for the winners, whilst Wynne who initially was listed on the bench dropped out of Soccerway's match day squad. Injured in the warmup?

Relegated Port Vale finish their season with a 0-0 draw verus Cambridge United.
No Wynne, but going off last week he maybe injured.

Lol.

Former Port Vale player Ryan Burge flew a plane over their ground on Saturday with a banner mocking their relegation from League One.

He got a pilot’s license just so he could do it. Incredible scenes. pic.twitter.com/ExuyZxPfN0

Haha that's a level of pettiness I can get behind.

Port Vale Football Club can confirm the retained list following the conclusion of the 2023/24 season.

Deklan is in negotiations to return for next season. 

The short term signing for this campaign makes a bit more sense now - With the club likely positioning themselves for life in League Two and hence not committing to anything on a longer term basis until relegation or safety was confirmed.
