BOBBIE Goulding would jump at the chance to return to Rochdale Hornets, the club who gave him his big break in coaching.

Darren Abram, who failed to emulate Goulding's success at Spotland, stood down after the club's 54-8 trouncing by Halifax on Sunday with the Hornets just one place above basement club Doncaster.

And Goulding said: "If the opportunity arose for me to go back to Rochdale as coach, then I would jump at the chance.

"I loved my time there. Rochdale are a very homely club. They have a smashing set of loyal fans and I greatly enjoyed working with the late, great Ray Taylor, who was chairman, and the rest of the board.

"I know I can turn things around again. I know the club and what happened before I moved on is in the past, it's water under the bridge. The fans know that I passionately care for Rochdale Hornets.

"I brought success, I turned things round and together we can do it all over again."

Goulding added: "I've just had an ankle reconstruction so I obviously couldn't play again this season but I greatly enjoy coaching and I got a lot of satisfaction from the job I did at Rochdale first time round."
