Chris Slater (born 14 January 1984) is an English professional footballer, who plays for Football League One side Port Vale.

[edit] Club career

Slater made his name whilst playing for non-league club Chasetown in the Southern League Division One Midlands. He played in Chasetown’s 1–0 FA Cup victory over Port Vale in December 2007. In doing this he helped Chasetown become the lowest ever ranked club to reach as far as the third round proper of the FA Cup.[1]

He was signed by Port Vale along with Chasetown team mate Kyle Perry in January 2008 for a nominal fee and gave up his day job as a block paver.[2] He made his debut for Port Vale as a 70th minute substitute in a 2-0 defeat to Swansea on 2008-01-19.[3]
