Date published: 27 January 2012

Rochdale boss John Coleman has made his first addition to the squad, just days after taking over the managerial reigns at Dale.

Coleman who was appointed as first team manager on Tuesday, has secured the services of 21-year-old Kevin Long on a month long emergency loan deal from Championship side Burnley.

The defender is well known to Coleman after having spent two spells on loan at Accrington Stanley, including during the first half of this season.

He made 24 appearances for Accrington between August and January, scoring four goals.
