Defenders Keith Lowe and Charlie O'Loughlin have been told they can leave Port Vale by manager Lee Sinnott.

Lowe, who is on a season-long loan from Wolves, will return to Molineux whilst youngster O'Loughlin is free to look for another club.

"It is purely a footballing decision based on the money available and our squad size," said Sinnott.

"It is my job to make these decisions and it is an opportunity to strip back, regroup and build strongly."
