Dale have drafted in Sam Hart for a second loan spell at the club.

With the loan market closing this week, Keith Hill has returned to Blackburn Rovers to sign left back Sam Hart on a loan deal which will see him stay at the Crown Oil Arena until the end of the season.

Hart was at Spotland in the second half of the season and made three appearances for Dale during that time. Crucially, he was there at the final whistle of the Charlton game as Dale secured their spot in League One for another season.

Hart's deal at Blackburn expires at the end of the season meaning he has most likely played his last game for the Ewood Park club.
