Gillingham v Rotherham United: Harrad keen to continue Millers stay
ROTHERHAM United manager Andy Scott is looking to extend the loan signing of Bury striker Shaun Harrad until the end of the season.
Harrad, who has scored three goals in as many games for the Millers ahead of tonight’s trip to Gillingham, has expressed a desire to stay.
Former Millers striker Richie Barker is manager of Bury and Scott said: “Hopefully, Richie will see that Shaun is doing well and it is something we can extend for longer.
“We don’t want to lose Shaun. I brought him in to give competition and drive people on. He’s taken the opportunity and he’s inspiring other people to do better.”
Harrad had previously scored goals on a regular basis in the lower leagues for Burton Albion and Northampton but struggled after moving to Bury last summer.
“It’s been an unsettling year for me but I feel at home now,” he said. “We will see what happens at the end of the month but I am enjoying myself at the moment.
“It’s been great getting back on the scoresheet and hopefully it will be four (goals) in four against Gillingham and three points.
“We are creating chances which is the main thing, and if we carry on the way we are there is no reason why we can’t nick that play-off spot.”
The Millers are currently ninth in the league table – three points adrift of Oxford United who occupy the fourth and final play-off spot.
Last six games: Gillingham LLLLLL, Millers LLLWWD.
Last time: Gillingham 3 Millers 1; February 8, 2011; League Two.
Referee: KA Woolmer (Northamptonshire).
