SIGNED: Waller In On Dons' Loan Deal

DEFENDER Charlie Waller has signed on a short-term loan from EFL League Two Milton Keynes Dons.

The Dons' academy product has already featured 11 times for their first-team.

A significant loan spell in last year's National League at Sutton United saw him really make his mark, featuring over 20 times for the Surrey club.

And it would prove to be the catalyst for involvement back at his parent club; Waller played eight times for MK Dons during the second half of season 2024/25.

Previous loan spells have seen the 20-year-old effectively work his way up the non-league pyramid, with short but successful spells taking in the likes of AFC Rushden & Diamonds, Billericay Town and Banbury United.

The most recent experience on a growing CV saw four appearances at fellow National League side Rochdale during December for Waller.

And if the name's just a little bit familiar, then don't search online for his only league goal to date...it was the sole strike as The U's defeated Stones 1-0 here back near the start of the 2024/25 campaign.

So 'welcome back' to The Vale, Charlie. Please feel free to make it up to us at any time over the next few matches!
