Rotherham Advertiser’s Paul Davis has said that Rotherham United are to begin contract talks next week ahead of the new season.
Rotherham United confirmed automatic promotion to the Championship on the final day over the weekend with a 2-0 win over Gillingham.
The Millers hadn’t been in the best form over the past month or so, but two wins and a draw in the last three games of the season got them over the line to finish in 2nd place.
Getting out of League One for the third time in a row of being is the division is a massive achievement, but next season, the Yorkshire side see many players’ deal come to an end.
The summer transfer window looks set to be a busy one for Rotherham United, with Paul Warne confirming that the club need up to nine signings.
