Richard Brindley leaves Rotherham United to join Scunthorpe United on loan

Young Rotherham United defender Richard Brindley has joined League One side Scunthorpe United on loan until the New Year.

The 21-year-old, who has made just one start for Rotherham this season, will stay at Scunthorpe until Saturday, January 3.

Millers boss Steve Evans told the club website: "Richard is a young player that is very much part of the Steve Evans plan at Rotherham United, but by his own admission he now needs a run of games to allow him the opportunity to compete for a place.

"He joins a good manager in Mark Robins at a very ambitious club in Scunthorpe United and we will be tracking his progress closely through to the January period."

Brindley could make his Iron debut at Barnsley on Saturday.
