However, this has resulted in a slew of acquisitions for low costs that have turned out to be excellent adds.
However, five years before being promoted back to the Championship in 2014, Rotherham made the first of their outstanding value-for-money recruits, who would go on to become a devastating striker for the club and eventually make his name in the Premier League elsewhere.
The man’s name was Adam Le Fondre.
