Port Vale sign Florent Cuvelier on loan

Port Vale have signed Sheffield United midfielder Florent Cuvelier on loan until the end of the season.

The 21-year-old, who has previously had loan spells with Walsall and Peterborough United, joined the Blades for an undisclosed fee from Stoke City in September.

However, the Belgian has featured just twice since Nigel Clough took over as manager.

Port Vale boss Micky Adams told BBC Radio Stoke: "He came on the radar at Walsall. He's up for the challenge. He's not had much first team football lately.

"We'd like to add a couple more players to supplement the squad. They're likely to be loan players from Premier League sides with little experience, but they'll be cheap."

Cuvelier could make his Vale debut against Oldham Athletic on Saturday.
