The 29-year-old signed for the Valiants in June 2019 following a successful loan spell at Morecambe from his parent club Carlisle United.

He played 30 times for the Vale in all competitions, scoring 6 goals.

Bennett started his career with Oldham Athletic but was released at the age of 15 and embarked on a successful non-League career with the likes of Springhead, Curzon Ashton, Mossley AFC, Northwich Victoria and Barrow AFC, for whom he scored 22 goals in 53 games.

That earned him a move to Carlisle United in 2017 and he played 60 times and scored 10 goals, with a 16-game and 5 goal spell on loan with Morecambe added to that.

Bennett joins Stockport on a two-year contract until the summer of 2022 and is expected to go straight into the play-off hopefuls` squad for their encounter at Maidenhead United on Saturday.
