Tomlinson spent one season at Barrow before joining Vale

New Port Vale goalkeeper Stuart Tomlinson believes their defence is the best he has worked with.

Tomlinson, 25, joined from Barrow this summer and has started all three of Vale's games this season ahead of player of the year, Chris Martin.

He told BBC Radio Stoke: "I think the back four we have got is the strongest I have played with.

"I haven't had a lot to do in the games As a well-oiled unit and a solid back four they are quality."

The former Crewe Alexandra stopper was a member of the Barrow team that won the FA Trophy last season at Wembley with victory against Stevenage.

He added : "It's been an awesome start for me. I have come here to play games and I am more than happy to be playing. I have to keep it going now.

"I can`t get complacent and with Chris waiting his chance that only spurs me on anyway to do well."
