Dale midfielder joins Falkirk

Rochdale winger Kallum Higginbotham will join Falkirk on July 1 when his contract at Spotland expires.

The 21-year-old, who can play in midfield or as a forward, had spent three years with the League One club.

Higginbotham has agreed a two-year contract with the Bairns and manager Steven Pressley said: "Kallum is a very exciting attacking player with a good level of experience for one so young."
