I agree. Seemed to take a long time to sort out the transfer details . Maybe they did some extra fitness checks, as he was a bit injury/illness prone whilst with us... although nowhere near as bad as many others on our books!

Paul Davis (Advertiser) Twitter - Another trialist coming in for the Millers for M'boro' friendly - Marlon Fossey from Fulham - who is a right back. We need a LEFT back though! Difficult to make sense of our recruitment plans.

He was an attacking player until Fulham got hold of him, apparently.

Sounds like the other trialist, Matt Daly could be with us for a few games.
Yes, sounds quite promising too.

Paul Davis (Advertiser) twitter - Hakeem Odoffin from Hamilton Ac., and another player , having RUFC medical on Monday. Possibly two more signings during the week.

I was under the impression that Hakeem had already had a medical and it was just his signature we were waiting for.

Don't know if he has. He is a defensive midfielder, so is a replacement for S. MacDonald, if the deal goes through ok. He has also played at right-back. There could be some loans coming in too.

So far this summer...
OUT : Eight RUFC players, plus the five 2020/21 loan players not returning = 13
IN : Four new RUFC players (one is a young keeper) plus one young loan player = 5
Unless there is an unexpected late flurry of transfer activity , there could be chances for some of the Millers youngsters to fill the gaps. Let's hope that they can have a positive impact.
Update - pre-season has finished but we are planning to make some more signings.
My comments on the opening post were wrong -It wasn't an ex-Miller who scored the winner, other than that predictably and depressingly more-or-less correct

I understand there could be another coming in but not until after the weekend then a striker (young one I presume) on loan before the end of the window, probably from a Premier League side.
But . . . these things don't always work out for us.
