Brendan Moore has Rochdale Football Club on a two-year-deal.

The 25-year-old American has been in the UK since the start of 2015 after graduating from North Carolina University, turning down offers from the MLS to link up with Fleetwood Town in order to pursue a career in England.

After impressing during a loan spell at Torquay United while at the Cod Army, he penned a permanent deal with the Gulls last summer, making 46-appearances during the 2016/17 season.

Moore said: “I’m really excited to be a part of this club. Rochdale have been successful in the past and I want to be part of the club’s successes in the future.

“It’s exciting to be joining a club that does consistently well and has a staff that are dedicated to the club.

“The staff I’ve met so far all seem to be great and I can’t wait to meet to meet the boys. I’m looking forward to getting started and get into pre-season in a couple of weeks.”

Assistant Manager Chris Beech added: “He’s a good age, he’s got great potential and it adds great competition for places.

“Brendan has been on our radar and we’re delighted to have secured his services.

“After doing our home-work on him, we’re very confident that he’ll do well for Rochdale Football Club.”
