"George is a player who I know really well from my time at Sheffield Wednesday. His energy, drive and quality on the ball will be attributes that are appreciated by our supporters," Moore
"Positive competition in all positions is vital and George will come in and add even stronger competition for places amongst our already-competitive midfield options."
Vale will start the new League Two campaign with a trip to Salford City on 10 August.
