Warne Hoping To ‘Sort Out’ Wiles Contract

Rotherham United Manager Paul Warne has told Radio Sheffield that the club are in talks with midfielder Ben Wiles about extending his contract.

The twenty-one year old came through the club’s Youth Academy signing his first professional deal with the Millers in the summer of 2017 making his debut that year in the Football League Trophy game at home to Chesterfield. He made his league debut the following season and has gone on to make sixty-three appearances in a Rotherham shirt, forty of those this season where he scored his first goal in our one-all home draw with Tranmere at the end of August.

‘Wilesy’s contract still has a long time to run,’ the Gaffer said, ‘but we are trying to sort it out so he’s more like the rest of the first team because he deserves that. I think he’s a really good kid and has a really good future. He performed well in the Championship last time and had a really good season in League One playing in about five different positions.’

Warney also went on to say that he has a few players who are in the last year of their contracts and he has no thought to renewing them yet saying, ‘If they perform really well in the Championship then that’s a conversation to have with them around Christmas time.’

Paul Warne and his backroom staff have around ten months left on their contract and Warney says he will have a ‘chat’ with Chief Operating Officer Paul Douglas when he comes back from holiday
