After securing a loan move to League 2 Rochdale, the switch that Chris OGrady decided to do was nothing ordinary. OGrady decided to join local neighbours Rochdale from League 1 side Oldham Athletic. Joining your local rivals is definitely not worth the risk; however we have seen players move to their local rivals in the past, especially involving Birmingham and Aston Villa. Liam Ridgewell decided Stephen Curry Jersey to switch forces, as well as Craig Gardner who most recently joined Birmingham from Aston Villa.On the other hand the move involving Chris OGrady was only of course a loan move, however after settling down at Rochdale this season, the 24 year old striker was able to score 12 league goals in21 games. After his impre sive goalscoring run, three Coca Cola Championship clubs were rumoured to be interested in the former Leicester City striker. It was rumoured that Derby, Peterborough and Scunthorpe were all tracking OGradys services, however thankfully for Rochdale;OGrady decided to secure a permanent move to the League 2 club on the 14th January 2010. After completing his move to Rochdale, OGrady stated Im glad to get it over and done with and signed, I just want to get back on the pitch and carry on with what were doing.O'Grady Featuring For His Former Side OldhamAfter securing his permanent deal, it is highly likely that OGrady will come face to face with his former club Oldham. Rochdale are currently flyinghigh at Alen Smailagic Jersey the top of the League 2 ladder, while Oldham are trying to force their way out of a relegation battle in League 1.IfRochdaleis promoted, and local rivals Oldham stay up,Chris OGradycould potentially meet his former fans Eric Paschall Jersey next season.Before this move came about, OGrady started his career at Leicester City as he climbed through the youth ranks into the Leicester City first team. OGrady was given a lifeline by the Leicester City bo s at that time, Micky Adams. The striker was handeda debut against Grimsby in April 2003. However while at Leicester, Chris was flogged out on loan twice,once to Notts County and once to Rushden and Diamonds. However as aLeicester fan myself one game will always stand out, the pre-season friendly against Inter Milan, even though Leicester lost the game 2-1, OGrady netted the Foxes only goal from the penalty spot. After leaving Leicester in the year 2007, OGrady decided to move to Rotherham where he appeared 51 times for the club, scoring thirteen goals in the proce s. A season later OGrady then moved to Oldham Athletic, but it was soon rather than later when OGrady started to become unsettled. In his first ever season with the Latics, OGrady was sent outon loan to fellow neighbours Bury,alsohe was sent out on loan tothree otherdifferent clubs, his current club Rochdale being one of themthree teams.O'Grady Is Now Baron Davis Jersey Settled With RochdaleThis season hasdefinitely been a turning point in Chris OGradys footballing career.

Rochdale has proved to be that all important lifeline, as OGrady is currently having his most succe sful season in the English game.
