Ryan Inniss

Crystal Palace defender RYAN Innis says he is thrilled to make a return to Port Vale on loan.

The 20-year-old Academy product will continue his development at the League One club for the whole of 2015/16 after a successful stint last term.

Innis went to Vale Park in February, inspiring his side to four victories and one defeat in his five appearances, before an ankle injury cut short his stay.

"It feels good to be back," he said. "I can't wait, I want to bed in, get as many minutes as I can.

"I can't wait to hit the ground running. Everyone has been quite supportive particularly with the injury and it's good to be back.

"I've been working hard back at Palace to get up to speed and I know the lads have been working hard here."

The centre back, who recently signed a new Palace contract, has previously had loan time at Cheltenham Town, Gillingham and Yeovil.

Glad to be back at @OfficialPVFC supported me through a tough injury so hoping to hit the ground running!.????????
