Rochdale sign veteran defender Aden Flint until January

Rochdale signed free agent defender Aden Flint to a short-term contract that runs until January. The 37-year-old moves to the club following his release by Walsall, where he made 48 appearances during the previous season. His addition comes as Rochdale adjusts to life back in the English Football League after earning promotion from the National League last term. The club has struggled for consistency early in the current League Two campaign, winning only one of their first five matches. Flint stated that he spent the summer waiting for the correct opportunity and intends to offer his experience to the squad both on and off the pitch. He is expected to bolster a defensive line that is currently navigating the early stages of a competitive league schedule.
