Harvey Rodgers set for Accrington bow

Posted Thursday, February 01, 2018 by PA

Accrington’s latest signing Harvey Rodgers will hope to be involved in the home clash with Stevenage.

The 21-year-old left Fleetwood to sign a permanent deal with Stanley before the transfer window closed.

He is well known to Accrington fans having played 20 games for the club on loan from Hull last season.

That took Accrington’s January arrivals up to seven, with midfielder Danny Williams, goalkeeper Jonny Maxted and defender Charlie Rowan all pushing for their debuts against Boro. Boss John Coleman has confirmed Seamus Conneely is back in training after a groin injury.

Stevenage boss Darren Sarll could hand debuts to a trio of deadline-day signings as Boro look to get back to winning ways following Tuesday’s loss to Swindon.

Midfielder John Goddard joined from the Robins on Wednesday, while striker Dean Bowditch came in on loan from Northampton.

Teenage forward Joe White was signed from Dagenham on a busy day for Stevenage, who also recalled defender Kevin Lokko from his loan spell with the Daggers.

Joe Martin has still not featured since being forced off with injury against Carlisle last month and Chris Whelpdale (ankle) is also expected to be missing.
