Manager Keith Hill has assured fans that Rochdale are ready for life in League One.

Dale have already booked a League Two play-off place after collecting 79 points with one game left, and Hill is sure they can cope at a higher level.

"We have got most of our squad tied up to contracts for next year," he told BBC Radio Manchester.

"We are ready, there is no question about that. We are very young but we are also very brave."

He added: "There is a case for some experience. We are on our way to making the most of the plan we started out with.

"We are very pleased with the progress we are making, both on and off the pitch, as we have some really good young talent plus some of that experience to go with it."
