Rochdale have signed central defender Ben Nelson on a season-long loan from Leicester City.
The Leicester academy graduate is also a member of the England Under-18s team.
"It's great that a Premier League team like Leicester City and a manager like Brendan Rodgers trusts us with Ben's development," said Rochdale manager Robbie Stockdale.
He told the club website: "I'm sure Ben will do well here, but it will also be a challenge for him at the same time."
Nelson is Dale's ninth new arrival this summer, as they begin their League Two campaign at home to relegated Crewe Alexandra on Saturday.
