Football: Stephen Dooley signs contract extension

Date published: 21 February 2020


Stephen Dooley has extended his contract Rochdale AFC until the summer of 2021.

The 28-year-old joined Dale in May 2018 from NIFL Premiership side Coleraine, making 55 appearances for the club so far.

The Northern Irishman said it was a “no brainer” to sign an extension.

“I’ve really enjoyed my two years here so far,” said Dooley.

“I like it here. I like the way we play, I like the players, it’s a good area and everyone at Rochdale has been good to me.

“When I was offered the chance to re-sign, it was a no brainer.

“I feel like I’m back to full fitness now and I feel good. Hopefully I can kick on and get some more games in the run-in to the end of the season and hopefully I can do well.”
