The Youth Team graduate has penned an initial one-year deal at the Crown Oil Arena, with an option in the club’s favour for a further year.
“I’m buzzing, it’s a great achievement for me and my family,” commented Edwards.
“I’ve worked hard for it and my family have sacrificed for me over the years. Every minute I’ve been playing, I’ve loved it, and all the lads have been so good with me.
“It’s been great getting that [First Team] exposure, and it has helped my development. I’ve made so many great memories at the club already, and I hope next season is a memorable one.”
Edwards joined the Dale Academy at the age of 14, before signing scholarship terms in the summer of 2023.
The midfielder impressed in the Youth Team and made his first senior appearance in our National League match at AFC Fylde on New Year’s Day 2024, at the age of just 16.
This season, the 17-year-old made six National League appearances and a further five in cup competitions, starting four consecutive league games in April.
Congratulations, Corey!
