ROCHDALE'S Kallum Higginbotham has joined Accrington Stanley on a month-long loan.

The winger has struggled for top form this season and has found himself increasingly out of the picture at Spotland.

Stanley boss John Coleman said: “Kallum has impressed me every time I have seen him play and that’s three or four times.

“The signing of him might give us a lift going the other way.

“He now has to grab his chance here to put himself in the spotlight again after not making Rochdale’s side. It is difficult to do that when you aren’t playing and frustrating so this gives him a good opportunity.”
