Newcastle fullback Tavernier keeps Rotherham option open

Newcastle United fullback James Tavernier admits he's open to signing permanently for Rotherham United.

The 22-year-old sees no point in staying at St James' Park to sit on the sidelines.

He told the Evening Chronicle: "It all comes down to Newcastle and Rotherham.

"And if anything can be done.

"I've loved it here. The fans have been terrific, I'd love it (to move to Rotherham). The Championship is a great level and it can only progress me even more.

"If I have to go to the Championship to get regular football then yeah, I will do it."
