Rotherham United still looking to secure loan exit for 23-year-old
Yesterday at 05:07 AM
Rotherham United boss Steve Evans has said they are still ‘looking’ to loan out defender Jake Hull.
Rotherham United are open to sending the centre-back to a non-league club. His contract with RUFC expires at the end of the season and he is due to become available as a free agent as things stand.
Hull, 23, has fallen down the pecking order with the Millers and his long-term future is up in the air. He has made only two appearances for the South Yorkshire club in all competitions in this campaign.
In this latest update regarding his future, Evans has said, as per a report by the Rotherham Advertiser: “He can still go to a non-league club. It’s something we’re looking at now.”
He added: “He’s another young player here who’s probably been allowed to drift. If he wants to go out and play football, he’ll get the option to do that.”
Rotherham United loan latest regarding Jake Hull
Hull could do with getting some games under his belt between now and the end of this term to put himself in the shop window for when his deal with Rotherham United runs down.
He has been on the books of the Millers for his whole career to date and rose up through their youth ranks.
The Sheffield-born man has played five times for their first-team to date, chipping in with two goals, and was given a three-year deal by former boss Paul Warne back in 2021.
Hull has been loaned out to Matlock Town, Guiseley, Hartlepool United, Boston United and Buxton over recent years.
He spent last season with the latter in the National League North and made 24 appearances in all competitions, chipping in with a single goal from the back.
Evans said in late February, as per the Rotherham Advertiser: “A couple of non-league clubs have asked about Jake’s availability. That decision will lie with him. I had a chat with him in my office and we both spoke about him needing to play some football.
“He needs to play some football for himself and he needs to play some football so that we – myself, Paul (number two Raynor) and the staff here – can make a judgement on him.”
What now for Rotherham United?
Time will tell whether Hull ends up securing a new temporary home away from Rotherham United between now and the summer.
The Millers are back in action this weekend against Exeter City at home.
