Free agent Dominic Iorfa joins up with Rotherham United for training
The player spent seven seasons with Sheffield Wednesday
Dominic Iorfa is training with Rotherham United, and there is a possibility it could lead to a contract at AESSEAL New York Stadium for the experienced centre-half.
The defender has been a free agent after parting company with Sheffield Wednesday and is just the kind of seasoned campaigner boss Alex Bruce has spoken of wanting to add to his League Two backline.
The 31-year-old, who spent seven seasons with the Owls, lives in Rotherham, has children of school age and wants to remain in the area.
The former Wolverhampton Wanderers man will have been a high earner through his career and financial considerations may scupper a deal, but that remains to be seen.
"Yeah, he trained here this morning," Bruce confirmed to the Advertiser at Roundwood this afternoon. "He's someone who lives 15 minutes down the road.
"He's come in to do a bit of training. Whether something materialises there we'll have to wait and see."
The head coach admitted that the player ticked boxes in terms of what would improve the Millers who are showing encouraging signs of being competitive in the fourth tier following a summer of 15 signings.
Rotherham had priorities other than defence in the later stages of the recent transfer window and brought in two forwards and two midfielders before last Tuesday's close of business.
Iorfa started out with Wolverhampton Wanderers and made the switch to Hillsborough in 2019.
He went on to make more than 200 appearances for the Owls at League One and Championship level before leaving at the end of last season.
When asked about the chance of Iorfa wearing a Millers shirt, Bruce said: "We'll have to wait and see."
