Left back Michael Rose has signed a two year contract with the club, keeping him at Spotland until the end of the 2014-15 season.

He had been spoken about by Dale boss Keith Hill as one of a number of key players that he was looking to retain at the club after an impressive time at the club so far.

He joined up with Dale on Valentines Day on a free transfer from Colchester and upon returning to his native North West, he soon settled and became an established member of the first team.

Rose was one of eight players that were offered new deals at the end of the 2012-13 season.
