Kieran Sadlier signs for Championship side Rotherham United

Championship side Rotherham United have signed former Republic of Ireland Under 21 international Kieran Sadlier ahead of the 2020/21 season.

The Millers snapped up the winger on a free transfer from Doncaster Rovers following the expiration of his contract.

The former Sligo Rovers and Cork City player scored eleven times and had six assists for Doncaster during their League One campaign last season.

Sadlier will link up with fellow League of Ireland alumni Trevor Clarke and Chiedozie Ogbene who signed for Rotherham last summer.

Rotherham boss Paul Warne is pleased with the signing.

“I think he was one of the outstanding players in the league,” Warne said, speaking to the club’s website.

“Wingers are a dying breed with the way we want to play so he's always been on my radar.

“I watched Doncaster live more than any other club last year, it helps that I live five minutes from the ground but I did watch him no end.

“He can play with both feet, as a 10 and on either wing. He's at a good age and a good kid. He had to go through our interviewing process which is something like 'SAS Who Dares Wins' and he got through that okay. 

“His player profile and personality checks all came through and fundamentally he wanted to come here, which is obviously a great point.

“You want to sign players who want to come here, they know how hard it is here.”
