Millers linked with Bolton striker Proctor

Sources in Lancashire say the Millers have made contact about the 25-year-old former Swansea, Crawley and Fleetwood man. He has a year left on his contract and would command a small fee. South Yorkshire and League One rivals Doncaster Rovers are also said to be keen.

SIGNING: Millers land winger Williams

Proctor spent the second half of last season on loan at Carlisle after struggilng to make an impact at Bolton, who he joined from Bradford City a year ago.

Standing more than 6ft tall, he had his most productive runs at Crawley and Fleetwood, netting 25 league goals in total, but hasn't been as regular a scorer since. He claimed four goals in 16 outings for Carlisle.

With Danny Ward expected to leave the New York Stadium imminently, Rotherham need to boost numbers up front.

Fleetwood forward David Ball is earmarked to fill one of the gaps and is close to a move to the NYS.

Millers coach Matt Hamshaw told the Advertiser last week that the club was planning to submit two fresh cash bids for strikers.
