Former Hartlepool United winger makes loan move to National League North play-off chasers
Former Hartlepool United winger Courtney Senior has signed for National League North side Chorley on loan until the end of the season.
The 27-year-old spent a month at the Prestige Group Stadium last term, making four National League appearances under Kevin Phillips. While his raw speed was undeniably impressive, he struggled to make much of an impact during his brief spell in the North East and returned to parent club Barnet to see out the campaign.
The wideman signed for Rochdale in the summer but has found things tough in Greater Manchester, making just one start and six substitute appearances. Senior, who scored 14 goals in 145 games for Colchester earlier in his career, initially signed for Chorley in December. He impressed in Lancashire, featuring nine times before a knee injury forced him to return to Rochdale. Having recovered, he's re-signed for the Magpies as they bid to cement a play-off place. Senior could be set to feature when Chorley host Graeme Lee's Spennymoor on Saturday.
"Courtney was excellent for us in his previous spell," manager Andy Preece told the club's official website.
"It was a shame he got the injury when he did as he was looking really sharp and match fit.
"He gives us another attacking option at a crucial time in the season."
