Rochdale sign Barnsley's Smith on loan

Jackson Smith began his career with Wolverhampton Wanderers

Early National League leaders Rochdale have signed Barnsley goalkeeper Jackson Smith on a short-term loan.

The 23-year-old joined the Tykes from Walsall in the summer of 2024 but has only made six appearances and spent part of last season on loan at Grimsby Town.

"All the conversations have been positive, what the gaffer wants to see from me, and it's down to myself to go out and do that," Smith said.

Rochdale are at home to York City in the final qualifying round of the FA Cup on Saturday.
