How Sean Raggett fared in his move away from Rotherham United
SEAN Raggett left Rotherham United in early February in search of more game time but the loan switch didn't work out for the Millers defender.
The 32-year-old was plagued by fitness issues following his move to AESSEAL New York Stadium from Portsmouth in the summer of 2024 and made a temporary switch to Cambridge United on the final day of the new-year transfer window.
However, he failed to establish himself in the U's side after dropping down a division to League Two and then suffered a season-ending injury.
The centre-back spent most of his time as a spectator as Cambridge clinched the third and final automatic promotion spot in the fourth tier.
Raggett made three substitute appearances and no starts before an ankle problem sustained in training ruled him out of the run-in in late March.
His Rotherham contract is due to expire and he will be looking for a new club as an offer of a new deal at New York is highly unlikely.
The player hardly missed a match in five seasons with Pompey but was a regular presence in the Millers treatment room as serious knee and quad complaints severely curtailed his first-team involvement.
Signed during the reign of Steve Evans, he made 11 appearances in his first season. In his second, by which time Matt Hamshaw was at the helm, he featured in further 13 matches.
He was fit again by the turn of the year but was unable to nail down a regular starting role and and headed to the Abbey Stadium.
Meanwhile, Lee Clark is still waiting to hear if he will be the long-term boss of the Millers.
The 53-year-old's nine-match stay ended with last Saturday's final-day trip to Wycombe Wanderers and relegated Rotherham have yet to reveal who will be in the hot-seat when they begin life in League Two next term.
Clark wants to stay and he was expecting to hear from chairman Tony Stewart that he would be remaining. He had to cancel planned meetings with players over the retained and released lists when no confirmation was forthcoming.
The Geordie had drinks with staff at his hotel in Catcliffe on Saturday night and then headed back to his family home in Newcastle on Sunday.
