Despite signing two a one-year deal in May, Folkes has been allowed to train with Chester until the end of the week, although Chester' assitant John Gannon admits it is 'too early' to consider a future move.

21-year-old Folkes, who has managed just 3 minutes of play all season, was part of a 4 man defence that leaked 3 goals in a reserves match last night.

In a side captained by Stephen Vaughan, Justin Walker scored a consolation for the Blue's second-string, as Rochdale ran out winners at the Saunder's Honda Stadium.
