Nemane makes Millers move following MK Dons exit

The winger has agreed a move to the League Two Millers

Aaron Nemane has agreed a move to join Rotherham United following his release by MK Dons at the end of his contract.

The 28-year-old Frenchman played a key role for Paul Warne’s side last season, predominantly at right wing-back following long-term injuries to Gethin Jones and Kane Wilson.

Impressing boss Paul Warne, Nemane played himself into regular contention, making 41 appearances last season, scoring three goals, one of which was voted Goal of the Season by Dons supporters.

After helping the side to promotion, he joins Warne’s former club Rotherham, hoping to help them back out of the fourth tier after they were relegated from League One last time out.

News of his move comes a week after fellow wing-back Joe Tomlinson completed his move to another League Two side Cheltenham Town.

Speaking about his move, Nemane said: “They got in touch with me last week. With Rotherham coming down from League One, I know where they have been in the past, I felt it would be a good fit for me to come here.”

When asked whether he spoke to Dons boss Paul Warne, who won two promotions and an EFL Trophy in charge of Rotherham, he continued: “A little bit, but the club is different to how it used to be. We want to get it back there. I’ve played with (former Rotherham midfielder) Ben Wiles, I know a lot of other players here too.”

Having celebrated his second promotion from League Two last season, Nemane admitted it took a lot of effort from plenty of the senior players in the MK Dons dressing room, and that he hopes he can bring some of that experience to the Millers’ squad as they seek an immediate return to League One.

“Last season took a lot from different players,” he said. “We had big characters in the dressing room, and when you sit around them, hear what they’re talking about, the stuff they said really helps get us over the line.

“I think I’ve picked up things from some of those players and I hope I can bring that here.”
