The latest on the Rotherham United Brandon Williams situation. The defender has been on trial for seven weeks Rotherham United have advised trialist Brandon Williams to look away from AESSEAL New York Stadium if an outside opportunity arises that could help him to get his career back on track. The former Manchester United defender has been with the Millers since the start of pre-season and appeared in all seven of the club's friendly outings. However, so far there has been no contract offer from Rotherham for the free agent seeking to put three years of personal issues behind him. Boss Alex Bruce has other recruitment priorities as he seeks to put the finishing touches to a squad he hopes will make a mark in League Two and has made that clear to the 25-year-old left-back who played more than 50 times for the Red Devils. "I've had a conversation with Brandon," the head coach told the Advertiser. "If there's anything out there for him in terms of someone being desperate for him then of course he's got to go and explore it. "At the minute, he's happy training here, he's happy being around the place. We are in a situation where other areas of the field might need addressing first before we look at that one. We just have to play it by ear for the time being." The Millers want to sign another striker, midfielder and wide man to add to their 11 summer signings. If the budget allows any extra business after that, then Williams could be in the frame, but there are no guarantees that terms will be put on the table. The Advertiser asked Bruce: "If you can tick all your boxes in terms of who you want to bring in and finances remain, would you offer him a deal? The head coach answered: "Possibly." "Only possibly?" the Advertiser enquired, to which the reply was: "Possibly, yeah."
