Former Cork City player makes move to Championship club Rotherham United

Kieran Sadlier has joined the newly-promoted Championship club.

KIERAN SADLIER HAS made the move to Championship side Rotherham United ahead of the 2020-21 campaign.

The former Cork City and Sligo Rovers player left Doncaster Rovers in late June after his contract had expired.

He hit the net 11 times in League One last season to be ranked as Doncasterโ€™s top goalscorer and while the club did offer him a contract extension, he opted to reject the offer.

Sadlier has now been snapped up by Rotherham with the 25-year-old joining a newly-promoted club that ended up finishing second in the League One table after the season was cut short in June due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Overall Sadlier scored 15 goals in 59 appearances since moving to Doncaster from Cork City at the end of the 2018 League of Ireland season while he was included in provisional Republic of Ireland senior squads by Mick McCarthy last year.

    I wonder was this the best choice of club for Sadlier. He is a great talent so I was hopeful he would go to a bigger championship club. I fear Rotherham will go straight back down.

    @Seagoat returns: might not have got game time at a bigger championship club. At least he can show what hes about playing regularly then possibly get a another move.

    @John Palmer: Yes, that appears to have been his modus operandi since he was released by Peterborough- baby steps from Sligo to Cork to Doncaster and now to Rotherham. Rotherham is just down the road from Doncaster too so he has an opportunity to focus on the football.
