English youth international defender Ryan Inniss has been offered a new extension to his contract by Crystal Palace. However, there also remains strong interest from Port Vale to sign the central defender to a long term contract with the player now on loan at the club.

Inniss is currently recovering from an ankle injury and Vale had lost all six games since he sustained the injury in a match against Coventry City on March 7. Prior to that, Vale had won four of the five games Inniss appeared in.

Port Vale chairman Norman Smurthwaite said he would love to sign Inniss at Vale.

“The plans for Ryan are not over. Rob and I would like him in our squad and if I am able to negotiate something with Crystal Palace then hopefully he could be in our squad next year."

The 19-year-old Inniss has played for England at the Under-17 and U-21 level and is eligible to represent T&T. The big defender has already expressed an interest in playing for T&T, possibly in an upcoming friendly in June, although he has not counted out his chances of making the England first team.

T&T head coach Stephen Hart will hold further talks with the player ahead of T&T’s CONCACAF Gold Cup campaign.
