Hurst set to go under the knife

475 not out!...
Hurst, the Millers longest serving player on the books at present with 475 appearances under his belt, has been hampered with a niggle since the start of the season but has battled on through the pain.

Now Gregor Robertson is back fit again, the full back is set to have an exploratory operation to clear out any debree and inflamation in his knee which it's hoped will sort out the problem.

Boss Alan Knill told today's Rotherham Star: "Everybody knows what he's like and the sort of attitude he has and he is a lad who keeps going. But, after it was looked at, the specialist advised that an operation was necessary.

"We don't actually know how long he will be out and we'd hope that it will be a matter of weeks but we shall have to wait and see."

Paul has been on steady form with Robertson's absence but was given a torrid run around by Mark Bentley in the first half at Gillingham, where he was substituted and hasn't featured since.

MillersMAD wish Hursty a speedy recovery after his surgery.
