Rodgers is a 21 year old striker from Birmingham - having played for Shrewsbury all his life. He has been linked with Crewe a few times, with Dario thought to be a fan of his. 3 years ago Dario was rumoured to be making and a move for him and only 2 months ago it was said that Dario wanted him to replace Hulse.
He was rated highly last season with Shrewsbury's FA Cup 'run' helping. However Shrewsbury were relegated to the conference last year and is now thought to be avaliable on the cheap at around £200k-£300k. Rodgers does have a bad side to him as he was 'sentenced' to 100 hours community service when found guilty after setting a firework off in the direction of a person.
Rodgers scored against the Alex last season in our rather shameful 4-2 exit of the LDV at the hands of Shrewsbury. He's a rather 'stocky' small but very pacey player and despite Shrewsbury finishing bottom of Division 3 he managed to score 20 goals for the salop team!
Dario has already revealed he's bid for a left back and bringing in Luke Rodgers would go a hell of a long way to boosting fans confidence.... fingers crossed!
