Dale to monitor trialists

Rochdale boss Keith Hill will give trialists Dali Gomez and Nathan Woolfe plenty of time to impress in the upcoming friendlies against Everton and Manchester United. "With regards to Gomez, I had a call from an agent asking if we'd take a look at four French players," Hill told the Rochdale Observer. "I declined the opportunity to take all four at once - with no disrespect to trialists from the continent, I am a little wary sometimes. "But I did fancy a left-footed striker and Gomez has done enough during his time with us so far to warrant an extended stay. He will play a part in the game against Everton. "The same goes for Nathan Woolfe. He's done well and we'll assess him further over the next two games."
