Ex-Reds: Derbyshire Helps Millers Avoid The Drop

Last updated : 01 May 2015 By Forest

Four goals in his last six games have moved the 29-year-old onto nine league goals for the campaign and helped secure crucial victories for Rotherham against Reading and Brighton which mean the Millers will be in the second tier of English football again in 2015/16.

It mirrors a strong finish to last season for the ex-Olympiakos and Blackburn Rovers man who netted five goals in the final five games of 2014/15 for Nottingham Forest and making a case for a new contract at the City Ground which ultimately did not materialise.

This Saturday, the Reds finish their campaign at home to Cardiff City with both sides currently on 59 points in the Championship table.

The Bluebirds have struggled for goals throughout the season although January signing Eoin Doyle netted twice in their last game, a 3-2 win against Blackpool.
