Former Vale midfielder Chris Birchall started training with the club yesterday after finishing his season with American outfit LA Galaxy.

It is understood Birchall has only linked up with Vale for fitness purposes with the 2010 Major League Soccer season not due to start until late March.

The 25-year-old, who is from Stone, scored nine goals in 91 Vale appearances between 2001 and 2006.

The midfielder joined David Beckham's Galaxy side last summer and featured in the recent MLS Cup Final where Galaxy lost on penalties to Real Salt Lake.
