Midfielder Jason Jarrett was released by Brighton in the summer

Jason Jarrett has said he is hoping to resurrect his career at Port Vale after signing a short-term contract.

The 30-year-old will stay at Vale Park until 28 December and told BBC Radio Stoke that he wants to take his chance.

"The last three or four years have been a real low point for me and I've spent too long sulking about it," said the former Wigan and Preston midfielder.

"I just want to resurrect my career and see where it takes me. Hopefully this is the platform to show what I can do."

Jarrett played under Micky Adams during his time at Brighton and he said the Vale manager helped sell the club to him.

"I get on with him and I know I can trust him," said Jarrett.

"His door's always open and he's always been honest with me, and that's why I think that Port Vale is an ideal place for me to come and play."

Jarrett is poised to make his Vale debut on Saturday, when the League Two leaders Bournemouth are the visitors to Vale Park.
