تعاقد نادي تشيلتنهام مع لاعب خط الوسط شيبلي من بورت فايل

Cheltenham Town have signed midfielder Jordan Shipley from Port Vale.

Shipley joined the Valiants on a two-year contract last summer but was told he was available to move elsewhere following the end of this season and the club's relegation to League Two.

The 28-year-old worked with Robins boss Steve Cotterill at Shrewsbury Town and said Cotterill was a "big factor" in the move.

"As soon as I heard the gaffer wanted me here it was a no brainer," Shipley told BBC Radio Gloucestershire.

"The main thing [at Shrewsbury] was the togetherness that we had there and that's what we want to bring here now."

Shipley has also played for Coventry and was part of two Sky Blues promotion-winning sides as they reached the Championship.

"I'd like to get more goals and assists but I'm hard working, will give my all for the club and hopefully we can do something special this season," he added.

Cheltenham have not disclosed the length of Shipley's deal.
