Rochdale sign Conor Shaughnessy from Leeds

On what looks like it may be a busy transfer deadline day, Dale have now confirmed the signing of Leeds defender/midfielder Conor Shaughnessy.

As always, Fitzochris broke this news through his twitter though rumours had started coming through yesterday that the Irishman may be on his way.

Shaughnessy played 15 games for Leeds United, who were in the Championship at the time, before successful loan spells at SPL side Hearts, followed by Mansfield Town and Burton Albion more recently but hasn't played a first team game in nearly 12 months.

More transfer news, hopefully, throughout the day as we get it.
