The departure of Alan Pouton yesterday evening to Gillingham has allowed Paul Groves to move for the former Bury man.
The defensive midfielder spent a month on loan with Town earlier in the season, which coincided with Town's best run of the season.
His departure has left a big gap in the midfield with his replacements failing to protect the back four.
Daws will join up with his team-mates today at Vale Park and is expected to start.
