Rotherham United part company with midfielder

DRU Yearwood has left Rotherham United after spending just a single season at AESSEAL New York Stadium.

His year with the Millers ended in relegation to League Two and he departs having made 36 appearances.

The club had an option to extend the midfielder's deal by 12 months but that hasn't been taken up.

The 26-year-old said on social media today: “Thank you, Rotherham, for the opportunity, wish you all the best for the future. Ready for the next challenge!”

There has yet to be official confirmation of the player's exit by the Millers.

Following a long spell in America, Yearwood initially failed a Rotherham medical last summer but was then given a contract after he proved his fitness during a pre-season trial.

The former Southend United and Brentford man spent much of his time in South Yorkshire on the bench but had just earned a regular starting role when he was sidelined by a calf injury that kept him out for six weeks.

He returned to feature in the last four matches of the campaign.

The Millers also have a year’s option on another midfielder, Shaun McWilliams, and there has yet to be any word on whether he is staying.
