League 2 wages are going down - Broughton

Last updated : 22 August 2008 By Bigrich.....
29 Year old striker Drewe Broughton has had a tough summer trying to find a club and has signed a short term contract with the Millers as cover for Mark Birchill.

However, speaking to the 'Tiser says that finances are curbing the squads of many clubs, "I've found it hard to get fixed up and that reflects the competition for contracts at clubs these days. A lot of it is down to finances. The money I've been offered from abroad and the Conference has been more than I'd earn in League Two.

"Wages have gone down in my time in the game. You've seen the amount of teams that have gone into administration. Clubs have to live within their means now. They just can't spend willy nilly chasing a dream and the go into administration, which is what a lot have done over the years."

"I've been at clubs that have gone into administration so I know the pressures that come with that as a player."

Drewe explained why he's with the Millers; "The boss wants an experienced striker in here to help the young lads on their way a little bit and I'm glad to the get the chance. If given the opportunity, I think I can take some pressure off the young lads physically so they can go and play their game. "I am 6ft 3in and 14 stone. I've got physical presence. I've played in this league for seven years pretty much week-in and week-out and know what's it's like doing battle with the centre-halves."

"Having watched the match at Morecambe last week, I have to say that the lads are looking fantastic with the football they're playing. It's similar to what we did at Milton Keynes last year, when we really played great football. The stuff Rotherham are producing reminds me of that."
