Port Vale have signed ex-Burton defender Jasper Moon on a free transfer. Moon, 25, was released by Burton Albion last month after three seasons with the Brewers. He scored his first goal for his former side in a draw with Exeter City to ensure they stayed in League One. Jasper Moon says he is targeting promotion after joining the League One club. He told Vale's website that his experiences with assistant coach Gary Mills at Burton and head of physical performance James Walsh at Barnsley had influenced his decision. As soon as I heard they were interested, I was buzzing to get it done, said Jasper Moon. Promotion is what we want to look for - I know that's what the manager is looking for. Vale boss Jon Brady said Moon's arrival reflected his ambition to create a competitive squad following a third-bottom finish in League One last season. He's a strong defender, an excellent professional and, just as importantly, a character who will help drive standards on and off the pitch, added Jon Brady. Moon's signing is a significant boost to Port Vale's squad, and his experience in League One will be invaluable. The club is looking to improve on last season's performance, and the signing of Jasper Moon is a step in the right direction. With his arrival, Port Vale fans will be hoping for a successful season ahead. The team's preparations for the new season are underway, and the signing of Moon is a positive sign. Port Vale will be looking to make a strong start to the season, and with Moon on board, they will be hoping to make a push for promotion.
