Port Vale boss Neil Aspin says Antony Kay could have a future at the club as a midfielder after the centre half made a surprise appearance there in Saturday’s 1-0 win at Exeter.
Aspin’s decision to play the 35 year old alongside Danny Pugh in central midfield raised a few eyebrows before the game but proved to be a masterstroke by the end as Kay helped the Valiants to a hugely impressive victory at the promotion-chasing Grecians.
The manager was pleased with Kay’s performance, and is impressed with the way he has responded after losing his place in central defence.
Kay has also lost the captaincy after he couldn’t oust Nathan Smith or Tom Anderson from the two centre half spots, but he satisfied Aspin both with his attitude in the reserves and his performance in midfield for the first team.
Aspin explained: “I am happy with my two centre halves, I think Tom and Nathan have done really well in the games since I have been here. So, I have had a chat with Antony in mid-week and said he wouldn’t be playing as a centre half, but I could see him having a role in front of the centre halves.
“He played for the reserves there in midweek. We did a little bit of work and we were happy for him to go into the team. I thought he did a really good job there.
“He played there earlier in his career, before he made his name as a centre half. But we haven’t got an abundance of central midfield players so that has given us another option.”
