Player Profiles 2008-9: Marcus Holness
Player Profiles 2008-9: Marcus Holness

He's only been with the club for nine months or so now, and we've only just got round to doing a Player Profile for him. Standards most definitely slipping.

Player Profile: Marcus Holness

Holness came to the club in the Autumn of 2007 after the defence got hit by the biggest injury crisis in the club's history. He arrived on loan from Oldham Athletic, cutting short a loan deal at Ossett Town to join up with Keith Hill's men.

Whilst still only young, and certainly one for the future, he's certainly not one needing to grow up in any way, and he was an imposing figure on the pitch during his appearances last season.

He impressed enough during his loan spell for Keith Hill to make his move from Oldham a permanent one, even though the majority of the injured defenders were back fully fit.

He caused a bit of controversy when he remembered at the last minute that he'd already played in the FA Cup during the 2007-8 season on the day of our first round game away at Southend. Yes, it still counts as the FA Cup if you're playing for Ossett Town.

There are high hopes for Holness, and with the likes of Stanton to bring him through, the future looks good defensively for Dale with D'Laryea and McArdle all competing for that central defensive spot.
