Port Vale striker Marc Richards says he would be happy to negotiate a new contract with the Valiants despite interest from Cheltenham Town.

Richards told BBC Radio Stoke: "I'm very happy at the club and there's no reason for me to want to leave.

"If Port Vale decided that they wanted to open contract negotiations then I would be more than happy to discuss."

Cheltenham are believed to have to offered Vale �100,000 for the 26-year-old former Barnsley man.
