Former Ipswich Town loanee Conor Grant has suffered relegation from League One with Port Vale.
Darren Moore's side were officially relegated on Saturday following their 2-0 defeat at Bolton Wanderers to return to the fourth tier, two years after gaining promotion.

The Valiants finished 18th last season but only won 10 of their 45 games, achieving five of those victories in the first six weeks of the season.
Moore took over at Vale in February, following the sacking of Andy Crosby, but has lost 11 of his 16 matches in charge.
Less than a year ago he led Sheffield Wednesday to promotion to the Championship, before departing the Owls and then lasting just five months at Huddersfield Town before being sacked.
Grant joined the Valiants last summer on a two-year deal after his release from Plymouth Argyle, where he helped them win the League One title in the 2022/23 season.
The midfielder has played 37 games in all competitions in his first season at Vale Park but hasn't been able to prevent them from relegation.
He made seven appearances for the Blues during his brief loan spell from Everton in the 2016/17 season.
