The time frame for a decision on Rotherham United trialist Sullay Kaikai

TRIALIST Sullay Kaikai is set to learn this weekend whether he has done enough to earn a contract with Rotherham United.  

The winger had to cut short his time with the Championship Millers on their Murcia warm-weather camp and fly home from Spain for personal reasons.

However, the 27-year-old hooked up with the club at their Roundwood base this week and has been training with them since Tuesday.

He took part in last night's friendly against Middlesbrough and the plan is to give him more game-time to prove himself at Mansfield Town on Saturday.

“It was unfortunate he couldn't stay in Murcia but we understood his situation,” manager Matt Taylor said.

“We can't keep him around forever because he has interest from other clubs so we'll make a decision after the Mansfield match.”

Kaikai, a free agent after leaving MK Dons at the end of last season, came through the youth ranks at Crystal Place and has since spent most of his 228-game career in League One.

Rotherham returned from Spain with three injury concerns but none are thought to be too serious.

Midfielder Jamie Lindsay and right-back Lee Peltier reported calf tightness after last Saturday's 1-0 friendly loss to Spanish side Elche while teenage winger Joel Holvey had to go off after hurting his knee.

“With Jamie and Pelts, it was the end of a long week and they had a bit of tightness,” Taylor said. “They're being assessed this week but I'm not overly-worried about them.

“Im sure they'll be right in a week's time. Jamie has had an ongoing achilles problem, which might be due to the firmness of the pitches, and it just progressed up to his calf.

“Joel kind of hyper-extended his knee within a minute of being on the pitch.”

Lindsay and Peltier sat out the Boro clash as a precaution while Holvey was an unused substitute.

Taylor was pleased with events in Murcia as his team continued their preparations for August 5 opening day at Stoke City.

“The pitches were a vast improvement on the ones we encountered on a previous trip to Cyprus, the gym facilities were good and the hotel was fine,” he said. “We got what we felt we wanted out of the trip.”
