Captain Pablo taking things in his stride

Last updated : 08 August 2008 By Deano
Mills, 24, won the MillersMAD player of the year trophy last season and has been named as the new team captain, with Ian Sharps taking on the role of club captain.

Pabs had adapted to a midfield role after being shipped out on loan to Crawley Town early last term, and returned a revitalised man - now he's likely to turn his attention to the heart of the back four after Graham Coughlan's departure to Shrewsbury Town.

Speaking to today's 'Tiser, he said: "I'll just take it in my stride and get on with it. I'd like to think I'm the sort who can lead by example and I do talk a lot on the field. I've played centre-half and midfield while I've been at Rotherham but whichever I play won't make a difference to the way I am as skipper although you probably see the ball a bit more in midfield.

"With the points penalty it is a case of being strong and sticking together as a squad and getting through it.

"I would like to think that I've got myself sorted out now and the manager is repaying me," he concluded.
