Dale linked with loan move for Hull youngster

Rochdale have been linked with a loan move for Hull City youngster Festus Arthur by Pete O'Rourke on Twitter.

The 19 year old moved to the KCOM in the summer from National League outfit Stockport County, having made 31 appearances for the Hatters last season, scoring two goals.

He has thus far made two appearances for the Tigers, both in the EFL Trophy, but is yet to gain any game time in League One for his parent club.

At 6'3, he can play either as a centre-back or as a defensive midfielder. Below is a clip of his best moments for the Hatters and some things the Stockport fans had to say about their former player:

Big, strong and decent on the floor. From what little we saw of him & can remember. Bags of potential. @james16gannon gave him his breakthrough.

You’ve got a good player there 👍🏻

Any other County fans want to comment?– County Podcast🎙TSBW (@CountyPodcast) January 7, 2021

Very good prospect, no nonsense and decent on the ball. Not sure if he's ready for league one yet but could be wrong– Sam (@samcharnock94) January 7, 2021

I was very sorry when he left County, he was good for us, good strength, loads of character and seemed to have potential to play at a much higher level.– John K Bilsbury (@StockportDiesel) January 7, 2021

He’s a got bags off potential and had a great breakthrough season. Lads a unit! And I’ll say he’s younger than he looks. Fylde manger thought he was in his 30s– Animo Et Fide (@rogered98295566) January 7, 2021
