Port Vale's 17-year-old goalkeeper Chris Martin is not worried that his debut for the club ended in a thumping 6-0 defeat against Swindon on Saturday.

Martin replaced the injured Joe Anyon in goal and endured a nightmare afternoon at the County Ground.

But he told BBC Radio Stoke: "I think it will be one I'll look back on and hopefully laugh about in the future.

"You just want a bit of luck in those situations, but I think I did OK and I'm looking forward to the next game."

He added: "It was the biggest crowd I've ever played in front of and the biggest game I've ever played in.

"The manager [Lee Sinnott] told me just to keep my head up at the end.

"I'm hoping to take the positives into next week's game; it's a home game so hopefully I'll keep my place and I'll be playing."

At the final whistle Vale had five players on the pitch, including Martin, who were involved in the club's run to the quarter-finals of this season's FA Youth Cup.

Martin hopes that will continue in the final two matches against Northampton and Southend as Vale's relegation to League Two next season has already been confirmed.

"My goal is to get some more experience and more games under my belt between now and the end of the season, and then progress further next season," added Martin.
