READ | Jerry departs for Bloomfield Road as Blackpool meet Millers valuation
Rotherham United can confirm that the club has a received and accepted a bid from Blackpool that matches our valuation of forward Jerry Yates and have subsequently agreed a deal for his transfer.
The fee - that has been accepted by the Millers and will remain undisclosed - will mean that Yates’ long association with the club will come to an end as he departs for Bloomfield Road. The striker, now 23, is a product of the Rotherham United Academy setup which he joined at 15-years-old and graduated from after his impressive showings earned him a professional contract at AESSEAL New York Stadium.
With the club having spent the majority of the last five years competing in the Sky Bet Championship, Jerry has found first team opportunities hard to come by. However, his industrious approach has consistently been a key factor in bringing out the best of those selected ahead of him throughout his time with the club.
During his time as a Rotherham United player, he made loan switches to Harrogate Town, Carlisle United and more recently Swindon Town, where he enjoyed a prolific spell and earned promotion from Sky Bet League Two during the 2019/20 campaign.
Everyone at the club would like to wish Jerry all the best in his new challenge with Blackpool and thank him for his efforts during his time at Rotherham United. | |

ROTHERHAM UNITED striker Jerry Yates has joined League One outfit Blackpool for an undisclosed six-figure fee.
The Doncaster-born frontman, 23, was down the pecking order at the AESSEAL New York Stadium, with Blackpool and newly-promoted League Two champions Swindon Town battling it out for his services, while other League One clubs also expressed interest.
Yates, who came through the youth ranks at Rotherham, enjoyed a prolific loan spell at Swindon last term - where he scored 14 goals - with the Wiltshire outfit having been keen to bring him to the club on a permanent basis and making their interest publicly known.
But Blackpool have won the race for his services, shelving out a six-figure fee to bring the player to Lancashire.
The Seasiders reportedly had an initial offer for Yates rejected earlier this month, but they have now secured his signature at the second time of asking.
Yates has signed a three-year deal at Bloomfield Road.
On his move, he said: “I am buzzing to get this over the line and sign for Blackpool.
“I have known about the interest for a while now, so to finally be here is a great feeling. This is an exciting club with a huge fanbase and a big vision for the future.
“I am ready and waiting to help the club succeed and I cannot wait for what is to come.”
Yates struggled to make a first-team impact during his time with the Millers. | |

"Yates has signed a three-year deal at Bloomfield Road."
Somewhere in Spain, at a dodgy B&B there's a sound of a man tutting, rolling his eyes and screaming "What's wrong with 1 + 1 year contracts"

During the transfer sage, before we signed him, I didn't realise that his work rate was his strongest point.
Good to hear.
