Players that could benefit Rotherham United next season 2025/26

A few players that I have seen from opposing teams this season, that could benefit the Millers

One problem - A commanding centre-half in the team / squad.

Answer - Mansfield Town centre-half Alfie Kilgour aged 27 [in May], a commanding centre-half
who can play out from the back, & is a solid centre-half who controls the defence, while being
able to set up his team in going forward.

* A plus is that Alfie Kilgour's contract ends 30th June 2025 with the Stags, worth a punt.

Position - Midfielder & Striker

Crawley Town came to the NYS on Saturday 29th March 2025 & beat the Millers 4-0
2 players took the Millers apart 26 year-old striker Rushian Hepburn Murphy [No14] & 25 year-old
mid-fielder Armando Junior Quitirna [No18].

The Millers defence could not cope with them, both players under contract until June 2026.

Rushian Hepburn Murphy - signed for Crawley Town on a free transfer from Swindon Town.

Armando Junior Quitirna - signed undisclosed fee, from Fleetwood Town

Crawley Town ready to drop through the trapdoor into league 2, could be open to offers.

Playing against us this season when we've been lacking in certain areas in the side could make players look better than they are. Got to an assessment on them in other games also against opponents set-up better than we've been.

I agree with Gru. Any average player would look good when playing against us.

Please don`t do that !
One we missed a couple of seasons back.....saw Aasgaard play against us a few times for Wigan,always looked a very good player,when Wigan were relegated the other season we should have gone in for him,now playing for Luton.
Can`t say I`ve seen too many in our league this season whi I thought were great,apart from most of the Brum team.

Am reliably informed Dan Barlaser would be open to a move back to Rotherham if acceptable wages could be negotiated. Unfortunately that's unlikely to happen under the current ownership.

Saw Alex Gilbey play for Stevenage when he was there on loan last season. Good accurate passing and strong tackler in midfield. This season 42 games and 11 goals and captain for Mk wonder if PW wants to get rid?

Jamie Vardy has announced he's leaving Leicester at the end of the season but wants to continue playing and scoring goals.
He's 38 but I'd take him on every day.

Wonder were he ends up?

MSL, Saudi, New York.....

Ex-Millers player Semi Ajayi at West Bromwich Albion

Ajayi aged 31, contract up in the summer 2025, no new contract offered, having talks with
Hull City & Reading.
Ajayi had a few injury problems while with W.B.A. - So perhaps better not to be bringing in
another player, to add to the ranks of injury prone players we have.

[RU66]

Said could benefit us. Not to reload sickbay!

Really should have put Ajayi in the former player news, but it would seem Hull City & Reading think Ajayi worth a punt, after Ajaya's agent said the player was talking to the clubs.

Going to really stick my neck out here. I feel Matt should take a good look at Josh Ayres, he's one of our own and I've seen him play a couple of times for us and you know when you get that sense that a player may go to better himself as he grows, well that's my thoughts on this lad.

IF, Matt does take a look at him and decides to give him an opportunity to make say, initial cameo appearances, then things may build from there for both the player and the club. The talk from Matt saying he's looking to involve youth within the team, well here's a possible opportunity where we may find our own hidden gem.

I`m sure if anyone,Matt will give the young`uns a go,must say,whenever I`ve seen Ayres(Which isn`t that often),I wasn`t really impressed Brin.

Each to their own pal each to their own. I may be wrong and he gives him a chance and he flops or, he gives him a go and heh presto Tony saves a few bob as he's already our player. We can but wait and see as they say.....

[Timbertop]

Brin. Contacts tell me he?s too slow to make it at our level but he did look promising in a pre season friendly.
