Ben Muirhead (born January 5, 1983) is an English footballer who plays as a winger for Rochdale.

[edit] Career

He was a highly rated youngster and played for England schoolboys, including playing against an Argentina Under-15 squad starring Carlos Tevez at Wembley. After beginning his career at Manchester United where he failed to make a first team appearance, Muirhead moved to Bradford City. He moved to Rochdale on loan and scored on his debut versus Notts County which Dale went on to win 2-1. Muirhead caught the eye of many League Two pundits during his loan spell and it was a disappointment when Bantams caretaker boss David Wetherall recalled him.

He was released by Bradford City. In May 2007 and in June 2007 signed a permanent deal with League Two outfit Rochdale. He scored the winning penalty as Rochdale reached the play-off final after defeating Darlington.^[1] In June 2008, he was transfer listed by Rochdale.
