Camps extends stay until 2020
CALLUM Camps has signed an extension to his deal at Rochdale which keeps contracted to the club until the summer of 2020.
Camps, an Academy graduate who has been at the club since the age of 12, made 51 appearances in total for Keith Hill’s side during the 2016-17 season, and captained the team on numerous occasions.
The 21-year-old has already notched up more 100 professional appearances.
After putting pen to paper, he told iFollow: “I’m buzzing to have signed the contract, especially before the season starts and on the first day of pre-season.
“I feel now is the perfect time for me to sign it because the club is going in the right direction and it’s good to be a part of it.
“It’s only a matter time before we get in the playoffs or get promotion.
“I was pretty gutted not to get into double figures in terms of goals last season, so the target is to try and do that this year.
“If I can do that and play as many games as I did last year, then that would be perfect for me.”
Manager Hill added: “It’s brilliant business from the football club and it shows great intent from Callum. He’s a very clever, mature player and young man, and it was relatively easy to negotiate and sort a deal out for him.
“To work with his advisors and Callum on securing this deal has been very, very simple. He’s just going to get on with working hard and getting his head down.
“He had a tremendous season last season and he realises that his performances on the pitch will take care of any future opportunities, whether it’s with Rochdale or another football club because his ambitions are to play at the very top level.
“I’m really, really pleased he’s signed the contract because it should show the rest of the younger players the type of intent that we’ve got this season at Rochdale Football Club.”
