Rotherham boss Paul Warne makes Will Grigg admission as nightmare Sunderland career nears end

Rotherham United boss Paul Warne has admitted he'd like to sign Will Grigg when his Sunderland contract ends this summer. The Black Cats striker has endured a dismal few years on Wearside and has struggled for goals since making the switch from Wigan Athletic.

Grigg was seen as quite the coup when he arrived at the Stadium of Light despite his big fee, but the move was a disaster. The Northern Ireland international has scored just five times since arriving in 2019.

A loan spell to MK Dons last season saw Grigg score eight times in 20 games, a decent record in League One. There had been murmurs in the summer that Grigg would return to Stadium:MK, but Warne swooped in to take the 30-year-old to Rotherham.
