Centre-back, Cameron Humphreys, was one of Rotherham’s better performances in a relatively disappointing campaign last season as the club suffered relegation from the Championship. Steve Evans returned to South Yorkshire at the end of the season and now prepares for a major season in League One.
The Millers have already secured a number of fresh players, with the likes of Sean Raggett, Jonson Clarke-Harris and Liam Kelly hooking up with the group ahead of pre-season.

On the other hand, Rotherham will be trying to keep a hold of some of their greatest players from last season, and fend off any interest from elsewhere. Cameron Humphreys is under this category as he is currently drawing interest from the level above.
According to a report from Football Insider, Sheffield Wednesday, Millwall, QPR and Swansea are all eyeing Humphreys ahead of a summer move.
This leaves Rotherham and Steve Evans with a difficult decision, as his contract ends next summer, therefore they may seek to cash in immediately.
Rotherham should aim to cash in
Former England international and current pundit, Carlton Palmer, spoke exclusively to Football League World about what Rotherham and Humphreys should do this summer.
“He’s a very good defender at Championship level”, said Palmer. “With Rotherham being relegated to League One, Steve Evans would prefer to keep the player, I’m sure, but with his contract running out… if the appropriate offer comes in, Rotherham would let the player go.
“They won’t want to lose him, he’s a very, very good defender and Steve Evans would be seeking and plotting to earn promotion at the first try back to the Championship with Rotherham, so you want to keep your better players.
“As Rotherham have done in the past, if the proper deal comes up, they will let the player go. You’ve already seen they have sold Viktor Johansson to Stoke City, so they will sell at the proper price.”
Palmer proposes the greatest fit for Humphreys
With four Championship clubs eyeing a potential summer move, Humphreys is left with a big choice to make in terms of the next steps in his career. Carlton Palmer suggested that Sheffield Wednesday would be Humphreys’ best option.
“Which would be the best fit for the player? Well, Sheffield Wednesday is just down the road. QPR, Millwall and Swansea are all teams you’re going to have to travel to.

“Danny Rohl had done a terrific job, so did Cifuentes at QPR. Millwall and Swansea have still got some work to do next season, but Sheffield Wednesday and QPR will be trying to surge into the top half of the table.
“I would say Sheffield Wednesday would be a good bet for him, because Sheffield Wednesday need a genuinely solid centre-back who can play week in and week out.
“As I said, it’s a short move down the road, and it would be wonderful business for Sheffield Wednesday if they can get him in at the correct money.
