On 16 March 2017, Vale signed his professional contract with Blackburn on a two-and-a-half-year deal.^[3] He signed a new long-term deal on 4 October 2019, agreeing a deal to keep him at the club until the summer of 2023.^[4]

On 5 March 2020, National League outfit Barrow announced that they had agreed a deal to take Vale on loan until the end of the season.^[5] However, as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the National League announced on 16 March that the season would be suspended until the beginning of April. Days before the league was due to resume, it was announced that the season had been suspended indefinitely. As a result, Vale was unable to make a single appearance for Barrow.

Vale made his professional debut for Blackburn in the club's first Championship game of the 2020–21 season against Reading on 18 July 2020, coming on as a substitute for Adam Armstrong in the 78th minute of the game.

On 9 September 2021, Vale joined National League side FC Halifax Town, linking up with fellow academy player Aidan Dowling at the club.^[8] Vale made his National League debut for Halifax two days later on 11 September, in the club's 3–1 defeat of Southend United. He scored the first professional goal of his career on 14 December, scoring in the 93rd minute to secure a 2–0 win against King's Lynn Town.

On 1 September 2023, Vale joined Lincoln City on a season-long loan deal.^[9] He made his debut on 24 October, coming off the bench against Charlton Athletic..^[10] He scored his first goal in an EFL Trophy match against Notts County on 7 November 2023.^[11] On 5 January 2024, he was recalled from his loan spell.^[12]

On 31 January 2024, Vale joined Scottish Premiership club Motherwell on loan until the end of the season.^[13]

International career

Vale has represented the Wales national team at U17, U19 and U21 level.
