The Story in 60 Seconds

Rotherham United intend to offer former Sheffield Wednesday defender Dominic Iorfa a contract extension. The 31-year-old center-back joined the Millers on a free transfer in September on a short-term deal running until January after departing the Owls upon the expiry of his contract. Rotherham's head of football Steve McClaren confirmed the club's desire to extend his stay, praising his performances and leadership qualities.

Iorfa has made nine appearances across all competitions for Alex Bruce's side since arriving at the New York Stadium. Rotherham currently sit just outside the League Two relegation zone on goal difference. Writer Harry Mail argues that retaining the experienced EFL defender is a straightforward decision as the club looks to climb away from the bottom two.
