Round-up: Doncaster Rovers chief's transfer update, Rotherham United striker joins Harrogate Town + Hull City exit
DONCASTER Rovers manager Grant McCann says that the club are now targeting new goalkeeper and centre-forward options after confirming the signing of three players in early summer.
Experienced defenders Neill Byrne and James Husband have penned deals alongside winger Leon Ayinde.
McCann said: "We're still working every single day, trying to bring in more quality to the squad.
"We feel like we are getting close on a couple of goalkeepers and we feel like we are working to try and bring a couple of 'nines'.
"It's difficult at this stage of the window in early June. Agents are asking ridiculous money for players, which is always the way.
"You've got to try and remain patient, but forceful and I think we will be.
"The way I like to work is if people keep digging their heels in, we'll move on. We're close on some, not so close on others."
Released Rotherham United striker Ciaran McGuckin, 22, has joined National League newcomers Harrogate Town on a permanent deal.
The Pontefract-born player struggled to make an impact at Rotherham and spent several loan spells away from the club at Yeovil, Eastleigh, Scarborough and Dundalk.
Harrogate have also brought in Gateshead midfielder Will McGowan.
Hull City have confirmed their retained list, with young midfielder Harry Vaughan among the players to leave this summer.
Vaughan, 22, who burst onto the scene in 2023-24, is currently on loan at Irish outfit Bohemians.
Meanwhile, the club has exercised a one-year extension option in the contract of goalkeeper Harvey Cartwright, 24.
