The free agency market us likely to be utilised by many League Two clubs this summer, with funds likely to be tight across the board.

Here, we have identified NINE soon-to-be free agents that may interest Vale....

Jon McLaughlin's contract at Sunderland is nearly up and the goalkeeper could be a handy player to look at for many sides.

Alim Ozturk is at Sunderland but for how much longer remains to be seen.
