Alfy off to Dale

Young Stockport striker Adam Le Fondre looks set to join James Spencer at Rochdale after the two clubs agreed on a transfer deal.

The Offerton born 20 year old netted 11 times in total last season, four of which came during a two and a half month loan spell at Rochdale over the spring period and looks to be the second County player to head over to the other side of Manchester this summer in a move to Dale.

Keith Hill has made no secret of his desire to retain Alfy’s services on a permenant basis and he looks to have got his man after an ‘undisclosed’ fee was agreed along with a ‘substantial’ sell-on clause.

In total Le Fondre netted 19 times for County after progressing through the youth academy.

While personal terms are yet to be agreed it is believed that the transfer will be concluded within the next 24 hours. While it is a shame that Alfy failed to fulfill his promise and potential at Edgeley Park after interest from Man United while in the youth set-up, i’m sure all Stockport fans will wish Alfy all the best in the future.
