Sam Minihan is set to join Droylsden FC on a month long loan.
The move, which is subject to approval from the Football League and the Blue Square Bet North League, is expected to be completed today in order for the 18-year-old to be eligible for the side’s trip to Gainsborough Trinity on Saturday.
The move to the Manchester based club marks the first loan spell away from Rochdale for Sam who was offered his first professional contract in the summer after progressing through Dale’s youth ranks.
