Rotherham United have completed a double striker signing on transfer deadline day, bringing in George Sebine and Klaidi Lolos on season-long loans. The deals, confirmed at AESSEAL New York Stadium late on Tuesday night, take manager Alex Bruce's total summer signings to 15 players as he reshapes his squad for the League Two campaign.
Seeking to bolster their frontline, the Millers moved for the two forwards after making 13 previous additions. The club's current form, sitting 13th in League Two with five points from four games, highlights the need for more firepower. They have scored six goals and conceded six, leaving them with a zero goal difference. You can track their progress on our standings page.
Who are the new Rotherham strikers?
George Sebine arrives from Huddersfield Town, where he featured twice this season, including in a 3-1 win over Oxford United. Last season, the forward scored once in six League One appearances for the Terriers. His arrival provides another option for Bruce, who has already added experienced forwards Paul Mullin and Tom Bradshaw, both in their thirties, and 25-year-old Fabio Tavares this summer.
Klaidi Lolos joins from Peterborough United, where he has made seven league appearances without scoring since his move from Bolton Wanderers last summer. He spent part of the previous campaign on loan at Crawley Town, finding the net regularly during that spell. The Rotherham Advertiser reported on Sebine's previous season, noting "He scored once in six League One games for the Terriers last season."
How do the signings fit the current squad?
The double swoop directly addresses Rotherham's search for attacking depth. With 15 new faces now at the club, competition for places will be intense. Bruce has completely overhauled his options, and integrating the new players quickly will be important. The team's next challenge is a significant one, facing league leaders Bristol Rovers away on Saturday, September 5th. You can view all upcoming matches on our fixtures schedule.
That fixture sees Rotherham, currently four points behind the top spot, take on the team setting the early pace. A positive result could provide a major boost. The new signings will be hoping to contribute as the Millers look to improve on a recent run of form recorded as DWDL.
What does this mean for Rotherham's season?
The deadline day business concludes a busy summer at AESSEAL New York Stadium. Bruce has been given significant backing to build a squad capable of competing. The focus now shifts to the pitch, where the new-look team must start converting performances into points. Fans can examine the full roster of players on our squad list.
With the transfer window closed, Rotherham's squad is set until January. The immediate task is preparing for the trip to face Bristol Rovers, a game that offers a chance to close the gap at the top of the table. Both Sebine and Lolos have signed season-long loan agreements with the club.
