The 21 year-old has agreed a two-year contract until the end of the 2026-27 season.
"He showed last season that he's a player that can affect games for us and really get supporters off their seats," Vale boss Darren Moore said.
"He's someone I've known for a long time and he's already got a good level of experience under his belt at a young age.
"We're all glad that he'll be continuing his development here at Port Vale."
