Adam Le Fondre's future at Rochdale hangs in the balance following a weekend of transfer speculation linking the striker with a move to Rotherham.

News of Le Fondre's impending move broke as Dale fans returned from the opening day draw at Port Vale, where Le Fondre came on as a second half substitute. Rotherham announced on their official website that Rochdale had agreed an undisclosed fee for last season's top scorer.

Manager Keith Hill didn't mention anything to do with the impending move in his post match press conference, which took place just yards away from where Le Fondre was joining in the warm down with his team mates.

Rochdale fans feared the worst but the situation changed yesterday afternoon when news broke that Le Fondre had failed to agree personal terms with Rotherham, who enjoyed a late win over Accrington Stanley on opening day.

Now Le Fondre's future with the club hangs in the balance, with rumours suggesting that a move to Rotherham is still on the cards, while, even if he doesn't join the Millers, other clubs are sure to have been alerted that Rochdale are accepting bids for the player.

As things stand Le Fondre is part of the squad that will travel to Sheffield Wednesday for the first round of the Carling Cup tomorrow night. Rochdale Online will update you if that situation changes.
