Rochdale Hornets can confirm that Matt Calland has left his role as Head Coach by mutual consent. 

The club would like to place on record our thanks for Matts dedication, hard work and passion for the job. Matt played a vital role in stabilising the club, whilst bringing forward young talented players from the Hopwood Hall Academy. We wish Matt every success for the future. 

Gary Thornton will now lead the team until the end of the season. All fans are urged to get behind Gary and the players as we travel to Doncaster in round 16 next weekend.
