Dale looking for homes for their future stars

Rochdale AFC club badge

Rochdale Football Club is on the look-out for families who can provide accommodation for their youth apprentices who are moving away from home this summer to pursue a career in football.

Families are required to provide a private bedroom, healthy meals and a home-from-home for the 16-18 year olds.

Players usually staying for six nights a week from the last week in June until the middle of May.

A monthly sum will be paid by the club to cover costs.

Potential families will need to undertake a Criminal Records Bureau check before being able to house one of the young players.

Anyone who thinks they might be able to help should contact Anthony Thompson by emailing anthony.thompson@rochdaleafc.co.uk or by calling Sarah Ashton on 08448261907.
