Dale says goodbye to Ronnie Cusick

Rochdale AFC has said goodbye to Academy Head of Recruitment Ronnie Cusick after nine years of service.

Ronnie, one of Dale's longest serving academy staff members, helped many young players on their way to achieving their dream, including Jamie Allen, Callum Camps and Connor Ronan, who went through Dale’s Academy before joining Wolves in the summer of 2014.

He also worked in local schools and in the community with the club’s Community Trust department.

Ronnie commented: “It has been a pleasure to have been part of a team that has helped grow the youth system into one of the most progressive Academies in the North West.”

Ronnie has taken up a new role with Manchester City.

A spokesperson for the club said: “We’d like to thank Ronnie for his commitment to the club over the last nine years.”
