Boss Mick McCarthy says he’s yet to receive any calls regarding striker Paul Taylor, whose loan at Rotherham is up next week.
"I haven’t had any calls about him and I don’t know what [Millers boss] Steve Evans is doing yet,” McCarthy said. "I don’t know if he’s released him or not.”
Taylor's last Rotherham appearance came as a sub almost a month ago. Having made a bright start to his time at the New York Stadium, the 27-year-old striker has failed to find the net in 13 starts and four sub appearances and has been an increasingly peripheral figure.
Millers boss Steve Evans isn't ruling out Taylor staying with his club.
"His loan with us is up with us on Saturday and my understanding is that he's due for a meeting with Mick McCarthy at the weekend," he told Millers Player.
"It wouldn't be my place to ask Mick McCarthy what he's thinking about Paul Taylor before he has that conversation with the kid himself.
"I think he's carried a few little niggles and illness in the last three weeks and we've not been able to get him on the pitch. Last week he wasn't able to travel and he was ill over Christmas.
"We need to know what the mechanics are as to what the deal would be from Ipswich. Whether he comes out of there on a loan situation or a permanent situation, whether there are commitments beyond the summer.
"That becomes a conversation between ourselves, the chairman and the vice-chairman."
McCarthy said last week that along with Anthony Wordsworth, who joined Crawley following his return from Rotherham yesterday, Taylor will have to find a new club: "They won’t be coming back and playing. It’s up to them to get themselves clubs or get themselves deals elsewhere."
McCarthy says it never happened for midfielder Wordsworth, who like Taylor is out of contract at the end of the season, following his switch from Colchester two years ago this month.
"He had his opportunities, but he got injured a bit as well, he fractured his spine against Hull when he got kneed in the back,” the Town manager added.
"He got off to an awful start with injuries and never really got going. Hopefully he’ll get some football there.”
