Jamal Baptiste decides on longer Rotherham United stay
LOAN ace Jamal Baptiste has turned down offers from elsewhere and chosen to remain with Rotherham United until the close of their League One campaign.
The young Sheffield United centre-half, who has been one of the Millers' best performers since his summer arrival and has caught the eye of other clubs.
He could have opted out of the fight against relegation at AESSEAL New York Stadium but wanted to stay loyal to manager Matt Hamshaw. Rotherham's boss has been a key factor in the former West Ham United youngster's rapid development this term.
His parent club like what they have seen and have chosen not to recall the player, who has just turned 22, in this month’s transfer window.
Baptiste is playing regular senior football for the first time in his career and in 20 appearances has become one of the first names on the team sheet for Rotherham.
The defender hopes he has a future at Bramall Lane but has said he would be open to discussing a permanent switch to S60 if he fails to become part of the Blades' plans.
He signed a new contract before heading across the Parkway to New York.
