DEAN Holden has turned down the chance of a loan move to Third Division high-flyers, Rochdale.

The 22-year-old full-back has told Sam Allardyce he wants to stay at the Reebok and fight for his place.

The Wanderers' boss has decided not to pursue his interest in Davide Nicola, the full-back from Genoa, who played in the recent private friendlies against Celtic and Leeds.
