Millers Linked With Two Strikers

The people ‘in the know’ must have been looking at Rotherham United’s ‘shots on target’ to ‘goals scored’ stats as we are being linked with two strikers this weekend.

Firstly the The 72 are linking us with Accrington Stanley’s Dion Charles while the Football League World has us looking at Paul Mullin of Cambridge United.

Merseyside born Paul played one hundred and forty times for Morecambe scoring twenty-eight goals before he had a season at the County Ground with Swindon Town. From there he went to Tranmere scoring twelve times in fifty-six appearances, helping them to League One and impressed enough in a loan spell with Cambridge for them to sign him last season where he scored thirty-four goals in fifty appearances in all competitions breaking the League Two goal scoring record.

Dion came through the ranks with Blackpool going on to play for Conference North outfit Fylde before 2016 saw him sign for Fleetwood in League One. He then went out on loan to Halifax before joining National League North side Southport scoring twice on his debut. In the summer of 2019 Accrington paid an undisclosed fee for the then twenty-three year old who has gone on to play ninety times for Stanley scoring twenty-nine goals of which twenty came this season.

Both these players seem to know where the net is (we certainly need goals) and IF the Millers are interested in either of them then the one I’d think was more up Paul Warne’s street would be Dion Charles who, like him has played in the lower leagues.

But, these are only rumours of course and with the Gaffer saying this week that he doubts we will be doing any business until July so may one or both of these goalscorers could have been snapped up by other teams before then.
