ROTHERHAM United fly to Scotland tomorrow and may have a new face in their ranks for their week-long training camp north of the border.
The Millers have already signed ten players this summer as they prepare for the League One season, and arrival number eleven is expected to be revealed soon.
Manager Steve Evans is putting together a squad that he believes will compete for promotion, and expanding his options in a variety of areas is one of his top priorities. Rotherham are boarding the train to St Andrews, where they will face Scottish League One side Cove Rangers on Saturday. If everything goes according to plan, the new boy will travel with them or link up with them shortly after they arrive at their destination. A trio of players missed Friday’s 7-0 triumph over non-league Parkgate in the opening summer friendly but Evans described their absences as only
precautionary and the hope is that they will play a part in the trip to Scotland’s east coast. Striker Jonson Clarke-Harris was held back by the boss after a bout of tough training, a fellow new boy, midfielder Shaun McWilliams protected a groin niggle and centre-half Jamie McCart sat out proceedings with a minor calf issue.
All three were on the touchline for the sold-out Roundwood match.
Evans stated following Friday’s game: “They could have been out there if it had been a league game and we needed points. My decision was that we’d look at them next week.
“A couple of those lads were very sad when I told them they wouldn’t be getting on the pitch, notably ‘Jonno’. But they comprehend and are aware that it will help them in the future.
