Defender Kwaku Oduroh has had his loan at Rochdale cut short and has left the club.
The 21-year-old right back heads back to his parent club Derby County having made 22 appearances for Dale, scoring his first goal in professional football on Boxing Day at home to AFC Fylde when he slotted the ball into an empty late late on while the Fylde keeper had come up for a corner.
Dale did bring in Kyron Gordon last week on a deal until the end of the season following the expiry of his contract at Fylde but Oduroh going back does leave a frighteningly small squad, hampered by long term injuries, in an even more perilous state.
