McShane told Rochdale’s website: “I spoke to the manager a few weeks ago, and now I’m just looking forward to getting started.
“I want to come here, play as many games as I can and try and win as many games as I can. I want to be a part of something.
“Brian is an up-and-coming manager and he wants to do things the right way.
“I’ve been training with a team myself and I’ve been trying to keep my training specific to playing football, so I’m dying to get going.”
