BREAKING: Redfearn leaves Millers

In that time the former Leeds United manager picked up five victories but saw the Millers slip back into the Championship relegation zone with a 2-1 defeat at bottom club Bolton Wanderers on Saturday.

Chairman Tony Stewart said in a club statement: “It is with a heavy heart that we've parted company with Neil today. As we all know football is a results driven business and with 16 games to go our aim has to be to retain our Championship status.

“Everyone at the Club wishes Neil well with his future career and thank him for his efforts and endeavour.

“Our focus now is 100 per cent behind appointing a first team manager as soon as possible.”

More to come.
