Rochdale have announced the arrival of highly-rated defender Tyler Magloire to the Crown Oil Arena.
The 20-year-old has joined Dale on a season-long from Championship side Blackburn Rovers.
Not only has he captained Rovers’ Under-23 side, he has also made two first team appearances, with his debut coming in a 3-0 win over Wigan Athletic last season.
Speaking after putting pen to paper, he commented: “When I heard of the interest from Rochdale, coming here was definitely top of my list of where I wanted to go. After speaking to the manager, I personally felt it was the best decision for me as it seemed like the best fit.
“I have been at Blackburn Rovers since I was nine, so I’m stepping out of my comfort zone coming here, which is a good thing. It’ll be a new challenge for me but I’m ready to step up to that challenge. I can’t wait to get started.”
Magloire has chosen squad number 21.
