Town have confirmed that academy defender Tommy Smith will join Stevenage Borough on loan. TWTD was first to report Boro's interest in the England U17 international early in January.

Smith, 17, will spend a month with the Blue Square Premier side, who are managed by former England coach Peter Taylor.

Meanwhile, rumours in Rochdale suggest striker Jordan Rhodes could be on his way to Spotland for a loan spell. Rhodes, 18, spent time with Oxford United earlier in the season.
