He will combine his role as First team manager at Market Drayton with his new full time position at Port Vale's academy, strengthening ties between the two clubs."
Paul Jackson the Market Drayton chairman writes "Rhys is a self confessed player developer who loves investing energy into young players, he is now at that stage where he wants to nail down his game plan and model at a club and push a team forward into new territory, as a club we will ensure that supportive and proactive structure allows himself and the players to flourish so we build on the great start to the season we have had"
