Dru Yearwood

[Rattus Norvegicus]

No No No. Never go back in anything in life. Just keep going forward.

I can understand that ethos/approach but I would have Dru back if he was anywhere near his ability when he played for us last. Seeing Dru drive towards the opposition defence with the ball was an absolute delight.

Rotherham United are reportedly closing in on the signing of former Brentford midfielder Dru Yearwood.
The 25-year-old is a product of Arsenal and Southend United’s youth systems and made his senior breakthrough with the latter.
His exploits in League One for the Shrimpers caught the eye of Brentford, who paid a fee for his services in 2019. He spent just on year with the Bees, later moving to the United States for spells with New York Red Bulls and Nashville.

Dru Yearwood nears Rotherham United switch​

According to The Mirror, he is set to seal a move to League One outfit Rotherham.

The Millers are said to have stolen a march on League One rivals to move into pole position for Yearwood’s signature.

He now appears set to become the third signing of the Matt Hamshaw era, following the arrivals of Kian Spence and Ted Cann from Barrow and West Bromwich Albion respectively.


Yearwood will be hoping to get his career back on track after months spent on the free agent market.

He is undeniably a talent and was described by his former Southend academy manager Ricky Duncan as “a bit special”.

In 2021, Duncan told the BBC: "After about a month of playing in midfield, we started pushing him over to Phil [Brown, the first-team manager], saying 'we think we've found one here who's a bit special'.”

Brown added: "It was a no-brainer that he was going to make it. He quickly became almost first on the teamsheet."

Brown’s successor, current Sheffield Wednesday coach Chris Powell, was also an admirer of the midfielder.
He said: "He was very forceful in the way he played. He wasn't scared. Reputations didn't count for anything. He was terrific. I loved him. In the end, everyone was calling him Dru Powell - 'he's the son of the manager'.

"The interest in him was huge. At the end of that season, I knew he would go."
