Dale land new striker

Rochdale have signed former Grimsby striker Jean-Louis Akpa Akpro on a two-year deal.

Akpro recently left the Mariners after turning down a new contract and is delighted to have joined Keith Hill's men.

He said: "There is a good feeling here and Keith and Dave (Flitcroft) certainly made the decision to come here an easy one. I'm really looking forward to working with them and the rest of the squad and playing my part in the team and hopefully getting as many goals as possible."
