Rory is another player who joined Dale during the January 2007Transfer Window.
Originally a youth player at Spotland, he moved on to sign trainee forms at Barnsley in the late-1990s. A brief spell at York followed, before Rory found himself doing the rounds on the non-league circuit with the likes of Northwich, Nuneaton, Bradford Park Avenue and Accrington.
He finally made a name for himself at Stanley, where his form attracted Blackpool's attention in the summer of 2005. Colin Hendry took him to Bloomfield Road, but he was never able to establish himself in the first team with the Seasiders and jumped at the chance of a 12-month contract at Spotland.
Like Adam Le Fondre, Rory made a goalscoring debut for Dale against MK Dons but having lost his place in the side he was allowed out on loan to Darlington at the end of March and for whom he made 8 appearances.
