Paul Mullin has emerged as Rotherham United's leading scorer in the early stages of the 2026/27 League Two season. The forward has netted twice across his six appearances, including a penalty in the recent 3-3 draw with Salford City.
Rotherham currently occupy 16th place in the standings, having taken six points from their opening six fixtures. Their recent form shows one win, three draws and one defeat from the last five outings.
A total of eight different players have found the net for the Millers so far. Alongside Mullin's two goals, Aaron Nemane, Brandon Cover, Ewan Otoo, Fábio Tavares, Jili Buyabu, Ossama Ashley and Tom Bradshaw have all scored once each. Cover and Ashley were on target in the high-scoring draw against Salford last week.
The creative duties have also been shared. Otoo and Tavares each have one assist from their six games, as do midfielders Josh Austerfield and Kian Spence. Austerfield set up Cover's goal in the Salford match.
Defensive midfielder Ewan Otoo and defender Denzel Hall have been ever-present, each logging 540 minutes across all six matches. Centre-back Sonny Aljofree is close behind with 522 minutes, while Brandon Cover has played 493. Goalkeeper Ted Cann has featured for 450 minutes over five appearances. For a full breakdown of playing time and contributions, see the team's detailed stats page.
Goalkeeper Ted Cann leads the team in yellow cards with five from his five games. Defender Jili Buyabu has collected three bookings, with Brandon Cover and Josh Austerfield each receiving two. Seven other players have been cautioned once.
The team's overall record shows nine goals scored and ten conceded. They will look to improve that defensive record when they face Port Vale at home in their next league fixture on 9 January 2027.
