However, sporting director Rich Hughes this morning shot down such links with the duo.
He told The News: ‘No, we are not looking at Ronan Hale.
‘Lang is another one that’s news to me. I watched the game last night, I’m sure a lot of people did and I think people were seeing him not featuring for them.
‘I have worked with Callum in the past (at Wigan), he’s a wonderful young man, good footballer, but there is nothing in it at this point.’
