Rotherham United should look at securing a loan deal for Sheffield Wednesday starlet George Hirst next season.

Rotherham United will be looking for an immediate return to the Championship following their relegation to League One last season and will be keen to bolster their attacking options.
A long-term loan deal for Sheffield Wednesday starlet George Hirst should be considered and a potential move would tick all the boxes for all parties involved.
Rotherham United fans endured a miserable campaign as their side were relegated
The Millers were the joint lowest scorers in the Championship, scoring just 40 goals in a 46-game campaign, Paul Warne’s side finished bottom of the table and will need to rack up more goals if they are to have any realistic chance of challenging for promotion next season.
Hirst is highly-rated at Hillsborough and their supporters believe that the teenager stands a good chance of breaking into their first team in the not too distant future.
The talented striker enjoyed a fruitful season for Wednesday’s development squad and earned more plaudits by scoring a hat-trick in a convincing 7-1 victory for over Cuba for the England U20s on Thursday evening in the Toulon tournament.
Wednesday supporters will be keen to see their future talismanic striker moves onto the next stage of his development; regular first team football will be the next step for George, who is the son of former Wednesday striker and club legend David Hirst.
It is highly unlikely that he will hold down a regular starting role for Wednesday’s first team after the club has invested heavily in this department in recent seasons and are blessed with an array of attacking talent.
A potential move to Yorkshire rivals Rotherham on a season-long loan would be a deal that would benefit both clubs.
