FORMER Chard Town youngster Jordan Storey scored his first Football League goal for Exeter City to help them past Port Vale on Tuesday night.
Storey's neat flick with the outside of the boot separated the two sides at Vale Park and took the Grecians back into the League Two play-off places ahead of Saturday's home match against Swindon Town.

The centre-half, who hails from South Petherton and made his Football League debut for City at Luton Town in February, played for Chard Town Under-18s alongside his younger brother Nathan in the side which finished second in the Somerset Floodlit League under the management of Hung Dang.
Speaking after Tuesday's match, the 20-year-old said: "It was a great game for a centre-half with lots of headers and tackles - I really enjoy that side of the game.
"It's always great to score - I don't get many so it's a really nice feeling."
🎥 “It was a little outside of the boot. I have done it plenty of times in training, so it came natural to me.”@jordanstorey2 on his goal against Port Vale last night 👇#ECFC pic.twitter.com/G6gCmr1YFq
