The Millers will have plenty of work to do this summer. Rotherham United’s summer transfer window is already shaping up to be very busy.
The Millers have just had a disastrous season in which they finished at the bottom of the Championship table by a significant margin.
As a result, they are prepared for life back in League One and have already taken some extreme measures in the aftermath of their relegation.
The club’s released and retained list, which was announced earlier this week, confirmed that at least 16 players will leave the New York Stadium this summer.
This leaves the club with a lot to complete.
In terms of rebuilding the squad available to Steve Evans, this may apply to both subsequent outgoings and incomings. Given the task of winning quick promotion back to the Championship next season, that business will undoubtedly have to be handled well.
So, with that in mind, we’ve looked at one arrival and one departure that would be an excellent start to Rotherham United’s summer transfer window, right here.
In: Harry Cardwell
With Charlie Wyke leaving Rotherham at the end of his loan spell and Josh Kayode potentially leaving after being made available for transfer, the Millers may need to sign a new centre forward.
According to recent rumors, they are one of several clubs that have expressed interest in Southend United’s Harry Cardwell ahead of the summer transfer season.
Despite a slew of financial troubles and accompanying point deductions, the 27-year-old’s goal-scoring prowess propelled the Shrimpers to within striking distance of the National League playoffs this season.
Given how they’ve battled for goals this season, his ability to find the net would be a valuable addition to Evans’ squad. With a number of other League One and League Two clubs reportedly interested in his services, it may be a pleasant coup for Rotherham to complete this move and position themselves ahead of some of their possible promotion opponents.
Out: Jamie McCart
