Town are amongst a number of Championship clubs reported to be keeping an eye on Rotherham striker Adam Le Fondre. The Blues, Coventry City and Derby County are said to have watched the 23-year-old as he scored four times in the Millers’ goaltastic 6-4 home victory over Cheltenham on Saturday.

Stockport-born Le Fondre played junior football with Crewe but moved on to his hometown club’s youth system where he progressed into the senior side.

After three years in the Hatters’ first team, Le Fondre joined Rochdale initially on loan before making his switch to Spotland permanent in the summer of 2007.

Having made 72 starts and 40 sub appearances and netting 42 goals for Dale, 5ft 11in tall Le Fondre joined Rotherham in August 2009.

The goals have continued to flow with 30 coming in 50 starts and one sub appearance last season, helping him to inclusion in the PFA League Two Team of the Year and Rotherham into the play-offs.

Le Fondre has added five more in his first four games this term, including Saturday’s quadruple.
