| Name: | Craig Dawson |
Craig joined Dale from Radcliffe Borough in 2009 before returning to them on-loan for the rest of that season.
He made his Dale debut at Port Vale in August 2009 due to an injury to Rory McArdle, but has impressed so much that he maintained his place at the heart of defence. Now recognised as a goalscoring centre-half, Dawson has been such a rock at the back that he is attracting the attention of Championship and Premiership clubs.
