Rotherham keen to keep Preston North End star in Championship despite League One battle
Rarmani Edmonds-Green and Georgie Kelly of Rotherham secured their side passage back to the Championship despite strong efforts from Gillingham.
Gillingham’s Ben Thompson hit the bottom of the bar before the break, but this was the closest the recently demoted team came to securing their future in League One.
Speaking to BBC Radio Sheffield, Millers boss Paul Warne said: “I want the players to have that moment in time that will keep them connected forever. If we can go up automatically, it will be the biggest achievement I’ve ever had, given the quality in this league.”
Warne’s next battle now will be to keep his side in the Championship for longer than they have managed in recent years.
