Knill hoping to loan defensive duo out.

Youngsters Pritchard and King have been featuring for the reserves regulary however it seems thier route to the Millers first team is blocked - for the time being with the form of Ian Sharps and Pablo Mills, and Colin Murdoch back in training, Knilly is hoping to send the pair out to gain some experience.

Speaking to Radio Sheffield, he said; "We've got 2 young centre halfs that are great everyday in training but they need to play, they need to play at a level thats physically demanding for them."

"We just want to get them out there and not to toughen them up but to show them what footballs about, real football."
