DARLINGTON striker Curtis Main will not be joining Fulham after the Premier League club decided to monitor the teenager’s progress.

The 16-year-old spent last week on trial at Craven Cottage and impressed during a friendly match.

Newcastle and Middlesbrough have shown an interest in South Shields-born Main but he is to stay with Quakers for the time being.

Meanwhile, Rochdale’s four former Darlington players are all looking for a new club after manager Keith Hill deemed them surplus to requirements.

Keeper Sam Russell, defenders Scott Wiseman and Tom Newey have all been released, while midfielder Clark Keltie has been transfer-listed.

Keltie joined the Spotland club last summer after seven years with Darlington and was a Rochdale regular for most of the season.

But he was not involved in either of their play-off semi final ties and, despite having a year of his contract to run, is being allowed to leave.
