Moving on to Port Vale in May 2007, injuries began to disrupt his career, leaving him unable to play for Shrewsbury Town despite him joining the club on loan.
Tudor began his career at hometown club Wolverhampton Wanderers, coming through the youth ranks before signing professional forms for the 1999–2000 season.
However, he did not feature in new manager Dave Jones's first-team plans, and so was allowed to join John Taylor's Cambridge United on a free transfer in November 2001.
It was a disappointing end to his Cambridge career, though, as the club entered administration and was relegated to the Conference National after finishing bottom of the Football League.
[6] Despite undergoing groin surgery in December,[7] and also suffering ankle problems towards the end of the season,[8] he scored five goals in 29 games from his right-wing position to help the club to promotion from League Two.
His second season in the capital saw Orient retain their League One status with Tudor the main fixture on the right-wing, playing 36 times and scoring twice.
At the end of the 2006–07 campaign, he was released,[10] after he informed "O's" boss Martin Ling that he would not be signing a new contract as he wanted to move back to his Midlands roots.
