He played at Alfreton on Tuesday night but didn't do enough to convince Evans that he was worth a shot. Sarpong will now travel to Scotland, where Rotherham will play Greenock Morton, Dundee and Patrick Thistle.

"We need to have another look at him," said Evans. "One game wasn't enough to make a decision so we'll take him to Scotland to see what we can do."

Meanwhile, Evans will spend the coach journey north today discussing terms with another potential signing - and the Advertiser understands that if a deal can be struck it will be a key incoming.
