Rotherham United: Millers recall Clarke-Harris from neighbours Doncaster
The 20-year-old forward, signed by the Millers in a club-record deal on the final day of the summer transfer window, has had an undistinguished spell at the Keepmoat Stadium.
His final appearance came off the bench in Tuesday night’s 3-0 loss at former club MK Dons, who he had linked up with for a month’s loan earlier this new year.

Hide AdEx-Oldham player Clarke-Harris was brought in by Rovers boss Paul Dickov, who worked with him for a spell at Boundary Park, until the end of season last month when the Keepmoat Stadium outfit harboured hopes of reaching the play-offs in League One.
But a run of two wins in 11 matches has seen Rovers fall away from top-six contention, with Clarke-Harris netting just once in eight games, including six substitute appearances.
His sole goal for Rovers came in the 3-1 victory at Coventry on March 21.
Clarke-Harris will now come into Steve Evans’s thoughts for Saturday’s daunting home clash with promotion-chasing Norwich City at the AESSEAL New York Stadium.

The Derby defender was not registered to play in the encounter, with a punishment yet to be meted out by the league.
The Millers are four points above third-from-bottom Millwall with a game in hand after the Lions’ 2-0 Championship loss at Blackburn last night.
Punishments include a possible three-point deduction.
