The 2008–09 season saw Vincent feature more regularly in the team. He scored his first goal for the club on 18 November 2008 in a 5–0 win over Yeovil Town in the FA Cup.[5] He scored his first league goal, on 10 March 2009, in a 2–1 win over Hartlepool United.[6] After the match, manager Jim Gannon said his midfield trio, of which Vincent was one, 'are really just three fantastic players'.[7] Vincent scored his second league goal, on 24 April 2009, in a 4–1 win against Crewe Alexandra.[8]
In May 2011, he was informed that he would not be offered a further contract by Stockport due to the club's financial position.[9]
Kidderminster Harriers

On 30 May 2015, Vincent came on as a substitute with twenty minutes of the Scottish Cup Final remaining at Hampden Park. He scored the decisive goal in a 2-1 victory against Falkirk.[18][19]
