Former Wanderer Peter Kioso will “most likely” leave Rotherham this summer, according to Steve Evans.

Kioso, who had a spell on loan at Bolton in 2020/21, made 12 appearances for the Millers during the second half of last season as they were relegated from the Championship.

The 24-year-old has a year left on his current deal and Evans says he is attracting interest from clubs in the second tier.

"There has been good interest in Peter from Championship level,” he told Rotherham Advertiser.

"There are a couple of clubs who have made offers and they are now sitting with the board for consideration.

"The kid wants to play Championship football and he is most likely going to be granted his opportunity, but I can’t second guess what our chairman and board are going to say to the offers that are made.

"My recommendation is that they are meeting a level where, if I was making the decision, it’s good to make it happen, but I don’t make those decisions.

"In the next few days I would expect him to be moving on if the board deem those offers to be acceptable.”

Kioso spent the first half of last season on loan at Peterborough, quickly becoming a popular figure among supporters.

Rumours of a return to London Road persisted but owner Darragh MacAnthony recently took to social media to shut them down.

He wrote: “Absolutely no (truth) at all, we moved on a long time ago. Good luck to him and his club. Let's stop for the last time talking about it.

"It was made quite clearly to us in Jan 'they' wouldn't sell to us so we have stopped putting energy into it.

"If he goes, I’d expect it to be to a Championship club. One player doesn't define us and every position is replaceable in time, so let’s move on.”
