How much Rotherham United paid to agents during Matt Hamshaw's reign
ROTHERHAM United's spending on agent fees this season is the seventh lowest in League One, figures just published have revealed.
They paid out £225,803 across the summer and new-year transfer windows when recently-sacked Matt Hamshaw was the manager.
The FA have issued details of how much has been handed over to players' representatives in the Premier League and throughout the EFL between February 4 2025 and February 2 2026.
Those dates take in the two windows when Hamshaw made a total of 19 permanent and loan signings.
The only clubs in the third tier to shell out less than the Millers are AFC Wimbledon, Doncaster Rovers, Exeter City, Lincoln City, Mansfield Town and Northampton Town.
The top spenders in the division by a huge margin are Luton Town who have paid an eye-watering £3,334,500 in their first year after relegation from the Championship.
Cardiff City and Rotherham's Yorkshire neighbours, Huddersfield Town, are the only other team to hit seven figures while the smallest spenders are fan-owed Exeter at £101,342.
The total outlay in League One is £14,041,489, which is dwarfed by the £460,300,308 in the top flight where Chelsea top the rankings with £65,102,247.
In League Two, MK Dons – managed by former Millers boss Paul Warne – are the most generous club, at £341,855.
