Career
editChell joined Second Division side Port Vale in November 1930 and made his debut on 14 February 1931 in a 2–1 defeat by Swansea Town at Vetch Field.[1] Seven days later he got his first goal in a 2–1 win over Reading at The Old Recreation Ground, but also cut an artery in his leg and was out of action for the rest of the 1930–31 season.[1] Once he recovered, he failed to make the first team in the 1931–32 campaign. He was instead given a free transfer to local rivals Stoke City in May 1932.[1] He later played for Crewe Alexandra, Witton Albion and Stafford Rangers.[1]
