Fit and raring to go

TITANS coach Lee Blackett says the club will head into the new season better prepared than ever before — both on and off the field.

Having put together a new-look squad, Blackett has also assembled a weighty backroom team to give Rotherham a professional edge.

Dave Matthews is the lastest behind the scenes signing, coming in as the club’s general manager with the brief on making sure everything runs smoothly.

He joins assistant coach Ed Williamson, advisers Micky Ward and Neil Briggs, conditioning chief Josh Fletcher,physion Dave Swift and match analysis specialist Jack Hayes. They will also have back-up from four interns.

Said Blackett: “I think we’re in a better position than we’ve ever been before. If not, then we intend getting to that point."
