New head of Commerical Steve Lewis talks to the clubs official website as he joins the Millers, "I have been very impressed with what I have seen and I am really looking forward to getting my feet firmly under the table and starting work,"

"I spoke with Tony Stewart and he was extremely passionate about having success for Rotherham and for the football club, and that was one of the reasons why I came on board. I am looking forward to working with the partners who currently work alongside the Millers, as well as building up relationships with partners elsewhere. I've got plans for a new ticketing structure, amongst a handful of other ways to continue the fine job that has been done by the club prior to my appointment."

"The new stadium was another reason I wanted to come here. This is a great opportunity to work on something that doesn't come around too often, so I am really looking forward to getting involved with that project."

After spending time with Leeds United and the neighbours Sheffield United, Steve has plenty of experiance within football; "I have worked in football for a number of years spending 11 years with Leeds United,"

"I feel I have a lot to offer to this club and I am very much looking forward to the challenge ahead. I want to spend some time looking at the current operations, and then look to put my own stamp on things where necessary, and help take this club forward to where it belongs and where it should be." he added.
