Speaking to the media, Ipswich Town boss Mick McCarthy said; "The intention was to send him out to see whether he could get games and score goals and then we would take a view on it. Thats still the same."
"But, of course, the more he's scoring goals, the view is that he's more likely to come back here at Christmas and see whether he can replicate it in the Championship. And thats my intention. Thats always been my intention."
“My intention when I sent Kieffer out was to certainly get him games, It was unfortunate for him last year because he came into a team when we weren’t playing well, so he didn’t play well himself. Having to come into a team that’s not exactly ripping it up, that was tough for him. "
“He went away in pre-season and came back a lot fitter. He’s done really well at Rotherham. I saw him play at AFC Wimbledon and we’ve had him watched pretty much every game. He’s scored some really good goals; gets in the box.”
