Port Vale captain Carl Dickinson in talks with Notts County?

Port Vale captain Carl Dickinson is rumoured to be in talks with Notts County over a move to Meadow Lane.

The defender, who is out of contract at Vale, has been offered a new deal by the Valiants but is one of a number of players asked to take a substantial pay cut following a cut to the club's player budget.

According to both the Stoke Sentinel and BBC Radio Nottingham, Dickinson is weighing up a move to Notts as he admitted that, despite enjoying his time at Vale Park, the idea of a pay cut would lead to tough decisions about his future.

Dickinson, formerly of Stoke City, has played 143 games in his three years with Port Vale and was the Supporters' Club's player of the season in the 2013-14 campaign.
