Harvey James Vale (born 11 September 2003) is an English footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder or forward for EFL Championship club Queens Park Rangers.

Early life

[edit | edit source]

Born in Haywards Heath, West Sussex, Vale started his career at local side Crowborough Athletic, before joining West London side Fulham.[4] Initially a left-back, Vale played a number of positions at youth level, including covering for an injured goalkeeper for Fulham, before settling as a midfielder.[4]

Career

[edit | edit source]

Chelsea

[edit | edit source]

Vale left Fulham to join West London rivals Chelsea at under-13 level, and signed his first professional contract in September 2020.[5]

Vale made his Chelsea debut on 22 December 2021 in the quarter-final of the EFL Cup, starting in a 2–0 win against Brentford.[6] On 19 March 2022, he featured in an FA Cup quarter-final match against Middlesbrough, coming on as a substitute for Romelu Lukaku in the 84th minute as Chelsea went on to win the game 2–0.

On 22 May 2022, he was awarded the academy player of the year.[7]

Loan to Hull City

[edit | edit source]

On 1 September 2022, he moved on loan to Hull City for the season after signing a three-year contract with Chelsea.[8] On 17 September 2022, Vale started in the 3–0 loss away to Swansea City.[9] The loan spell was cut short when he returned to Chelsea on 23 January 2023.[10]

Loan to Bristol Rovers

On 15 August 2023, Vale agreed to join League One side, Bristol Rovers on a season-long loan.[11] On 26 August 2023, Vale scored his first senior career goal, finishing a cross from the right-hand side for Rovers' consolation goal in a 2–1 home defeat to Wycombe Wanderers.[12] Having been utilised in a more unfamiliar left-back position, impressive performances from Vale saw comparisons made to Chelsea legend Ashley Cole from manager Joey Barton.[13] He continued to impress across the season, ranking among the highest for minutes played by a Chelsea loanee, whilst also playing the second-most minutes for Rovers.[14]

Return to Chelsea

[edit | edit source]

Following his return to Chelsea, Vale was one of thirteen senior players who was told to train away from the first-team and seek a move away from the club.[15] With just days of the transfer window remaining, it was reported that Chelsea had agreed a deal with Saudi Pro League club Al-Ettifaq,[16] the move seeming to fall through having been unable to agree personal terms.[17]

Queens Park Rangers

He made his debut on 9 August 2025 replacing Karamoko Dembélé in the 82nd minute in a 1–1 draw with Preston North End at Loftus Road. [19]

International career

[edit | edit source]

Vale has represented England at under-15, under-16,[20] under-17 and under-19 level.[2]

On 17 June 2022, Vale was included in the England U19 squad for the 2022 UEFA European Under-19 Championship.[21] On 1 July 2022, Vale captained the England U19 side and provided an assist for Carney Chukwuemeka to score in a 3–1 victory against Israel in the final.[22][23] His performances during the competition led to his inclusion in the UEFA team of the tournament.[24]

On 10 May 2023, Vale was included in the England squad for the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup.[25]

Vale qualifies for the Republic of Ireland.[26]
