Dale complete Clarke loan swoop
Rochdale have signed Hartlepool midfielder Darrell Clarke on a six-month loan deal.
The 28-year-old has put pen to paper on a contract which will see him move to Spotland until January.
"We preferred to take him on a long-term loan rather than a month, to enable him to get settled," Dale boss Steve Parkin told his club's website.
"He may not be in the team to start with, but he's a good squad player and we need players like him."
