In a bizarre transfer move, Dale winger Jesurun Uchegbulam has left Rochdale to join one of our biggest rivals.
Can’t actually believe I’m typing this but Jez Uchegbulam has only gone and joined local rivals Oldham Athletic it seems as the story popped up on the Oldham Official site earlier before being removed. The story has since reappeared on both ours and Oldham's website.
The Nigerian winger joined Rochdale last summer from Chesterfield for a nominal fee and went on to play 29 games, scoring once, a top corner finish against Gateshead back in October.
The 23-year-old was out injured for a while after falling foul of the dangerous advertising hoardings at AFC Fylde on New Years Day in what was a very nasty looking injury that halted the game for some time.
Good luck Jez.
