Loan star Carlton Morris still on Rotherham United's radar

Despite an injury-disrupted time with the Millers after joining in January, the 21-year-old showed signs of raw promise and while the forward’s priority is trying to establish himself with the Canaries, Warne is not ruling him out of a return.

Additions to his forward department are a big priority area for Warne in the summer, with Danny Ward’s future likely to be away from the club, despite the Millers exercising an option to extend his contract by a further year.

That is likely to ensure that they will receive a significant fee for their 2016-17 top-scorer, the subject of interest from several Championship clubs.

The future of Dexter Blackstock is also uncertain, with the club receptive to him moving elsewhere following a forgettable campaign at Rotherham.

On potentially bringing back Morris, manager Warne said: “I spoke to Carlton and said to him: ‘ did you enjoy it?’ He did.

“I asked if he would consider coming back if the opportunity arose for me and him and he said he would love to come back, but ideally he wants to get in the Norwich team.

“I wish him all the best and I will have different targets anyway. (But) It might be something we revisit in the summer or January.

“I will always keep an eye on his career. It is a pity he wasn’t here on a season-long loan where you could have him in pre-season and be able to work with him.

“When you have a couple of games a week, it is difficult to change a player. Pre-season is a good time to sculpt them into doing exactly what you want them to do.”
