Vale striker may hang up boots
The 36-year-old, who beat cancer to return to league football with Vale last summer, has managed just one start and 10 substitute appearances since his arrival.[LNB]But the veteran striker is now on the verge of returning from a torn hamstring picked up in the 2-0 defeat by Morecambe on December 5.[LNB]He told the Stoke Sentinel: "I've got to consider retirement because I haven't played enough games.[LNB]"I didn't want to come in just as assistant manager, I wanted to play football too, so it's been disappointing I haven't been able to stay injury free.[LNB]"In a worst-case scenario, if my hamstring or groin goes again or I keep picking up niggly injuries, I'll review things in the summer."[LNB][LNB]
