FC Halifax Town have completed the signing of former Port Vale, Burnley and Shrewsbury Town midfielder Tommy McDermott.
The 21-year-old is an attacking midfielder who played 41 games for League Two side Shrewsbury last season, scoring three goals.
That was on loan from Burnley, who he made two appearances for in the 2024-25 campaign, having joined them from Port Vale in 2024.
McDermott made his professional debut for Port Vale at the start of the 2022-23 season, and had loan spells from the club at Salisbury, Rochdale and Curzon Ashton.
The Courier understands McDermott has signed a one-year contract with Halifax with the option of a further year.
