The Millers custodian has saved 78.8 per cent of the 113 shots on target he has faced this term. Speaking last month, the Rotherham man was not keen to take too much credit for himself.

He said: “Personally, it has been great. I think the team has done great as well. We have been hard to beat and the whole team has defended brilliantly.

"Many people don’t realise how much they [the defenders] do. They make my job easier. It is a relationship we can keep on building – which has been excellent so far.”
