Yep, by the sounds of it, what did Yates see in him?

To be fair Dave.. that thread is titled Frankie Artus. Theres one line at the end on Rooney with a couple of words but give the guy a bit of consideration considering the thread is entitled something totally different

If you read about it then he said he initially went along to training because he knew some of their players and really enjoyed it. He claims that he had offers from league clubs, so it's not the dramatic fall from grace that some are saying.

I'd imagine he'll be in the league again for the beginning of next season.

This is how football works. You can be a good player but if you fall out of view it can be impossible to get another club. Like Duffy - league quality but no agent would bother trying to fix him with another club as he wouldn't be on any managers list.

The reverse is true and poor players can seem to keep being signed by clubs each year against all logic as managers have them in their minds eye and it's easy for agents to get them moves.

Like Mo has come down to L2. Had he spent another year on the Vale bench he'd probably be lucky to get a conference club at best.
