The Millers have recalled Josh Kayode from his loan spell at Chesterfield. The teenage forward has made three appearances since joining the National League outfit last month.

Josh Kayode...back at the AESSEAL New York Stadium.

Spireites boss Martin Allen said: “Josh has been a model professional. He’s a great lad and he came at a time when it has been difficult for me to get him into our team. He was one I certainly wanted to keep but I can fully understand why Rotherham needed him back.”

Defender Clark Robertson stepped up his comeback from injury by playing in the reserves' 4-2 win over Notts County yesterday.

Mitchell Carlton, Jacques Etia and Ben Wiles were also on the scoresheet in the Central League fixture played at Ilkeston Town's ground.
