Towell back on the rack at Rotherham United

PERSISTENCE has finally paid off for Rotherham United, who have secured the services of big summer target Richie Towell - who has returned to the AESSEAL New York Stadium for a second loan spell.

The Brighton midfielder, who played a leading role in the club’s promotion to the Championship last term, has been pursued by Millers manager Paul Warne throughout the close-season - with the Seagulls finally giving the green light to his return to Rotherham today.

The Dubliner, 27, who scored six goals for the Millers last season, arrives on a season-long loan.

Towell is the Millers’ eighth signing of the summer window following the loan additions of Zac Vyner, Sean Raggett, Marek Rodak and Ryan Manning and the permanent captures of Clark Robertson, Kyle Vassell and Billy Jones.
