Manager Darrell Clarke said of Pope on the club’s official website: “Since I’ve been at the club Tom has been the consummate professional.

“He’s worked hard and helped me and the dressing room.

“He’s had a difficult season with injuries but his commitment to the cause has been first class – as you’d expect of a club legend – and his record will stand the test of time.”

Also leaving Vale Park are Dino Visser, Tom Scott, Adam Crookes, Shaun Brisley, Scott Brown, Luke Joyce, Ryan Campbell-Gordon, Zak Mills, David Fitzpatrick, Cristian Montano, Daniel Trickett-Smith, Mark Cullen, Kurtis Guthrie and Harry McKirdy.
