Another rumour for a 32 year old forward

Rotherham United manager checks out Plymouth Argyle link with Jordan Hugill

The Devon club, now managed by former Manchester United and England ace Wayne Rooney, are said to be interested in the 32-year-old who is contracted at AESSEAL New York Stadium until June 2026.

Target man Hugill joined Rotherham from Norwich last January and helped the club stay in the Championship under Matt Taylor.

Although last season was a struggle for the Middlesbrough-born front man, he has the chance of a new start under Evans, who heard about the Plymouth link and spoke to the player about it earlier this week.

The boss told the Advertiser: “I read the reports and so I spoke to Jordan and he intimated to me that he wasn’t aware of anything and if he did he would let me know as a matter of professional respect.

“One thing I have learnt in the short time knowing Jordan is that he’s a real good lad and taking references from people like David Moyes, he’s a real honest kid.

“Wayne Rooney was a superstar as a player and is still to prove himself as a manager. I know Wayne, he knows my number and I’m sure if he has an interest then he’ll pick the phone up.

“If Plymouth want some dialogue then we’ll decide as a club what we want to do on that one.”
