Rotherham United centre-half is a wanted man
YOUNG Rotherham United defender Lenny Agbaire is a transfer target for one of the clubs who have won promotion to League One this season.
The 21-year-old made 20 appearances in his first year the Millers following his move south of the border from Scottish giants Celtic last summer.
That has been enough to attract the attention of Bromley who finished as champions of League Two and are keen to add the centre-half to their ranks for next year's campaign at a higher level.
Agbaire arrived at AESSEAL New York Stadium on a free transfer and signed a three-year deal.
He looked a real prospect in the first few matches of the campaign but was then hit by a succession of injuries that restricted him to just 20 outings.
Bone bruising to a leg was his initial issue and he later required surgery on a groin problem before missing the end of the season with a hamstring complaint.
He's still raw, but is big and athletic and has the potential to develop.
Bromley, in Greater London, are a club on the rise after earning their place in the EFL by finishing third in the National League play-offs in 2024 and going up via the play-offs.
They finished 11th in their first year in the fourth tier before going on to pip MK Dons - managed by former Rotherham boss Paul Warne - to the title this term.
They will swap divisions with Rotherham following the Millers' relegation.
Agbaire is one of only 14 players under contract for next season at New York following the publication of the retained and released list last week.
