Former Carlisle United striker offered new deal in League One
Former Carlisle United striker Joshua Kayode has been offered a new deal with Rotherham United.
An offer to prolong his stay with the League One club has been tabled at the end of the 2024/25 season.
Kayode, 25, ended the season with a run of first-team appearances following an injury hit first half of the campaign on loan at Shrewsbury Town.
The forward has been on Rotherham's books since his youth team days at the Yorkshire club.
After 50 first-team appearances and a host of loan moves, he could now extend that spell.
The offer to Kayode, who had three loan spells at Carlisle, was revealed in Rotherham's retained and released list following their 13th-placed finish in the third tier.
He is one of five players in negotiations having been offered deals. Four others have been released by the Millers with three more having options activated for another year.
The offer to Kayode has been overseen by boss Matt Hamshaw as well as director of football recruitment Rob Scott, the former Carlisle loan player.
Kayode made 45 appearances and scored 11 goals across his three Brunton Park spells.
The most recent stint, a season-long loan in 2023/24 was ruined by shoulder and calf injuries, limiting him to just four appearances.

He's the Coach Who Took Down LeBron. Now the NBA's Giant Slayer Is Hunting an Even Bigger Upset.
Oklahoma City When the NBA Finals began, the Indiana Pacers weren't merely underdogs. They were afterthoughts. Their opponents, the Oklahoma City Thunder, had just posted the best record the NBA has seen in nine years. The Pacers, meanwhile, posted the fourth-best record in the Eastern Conference. At the end of the regular season, oddsmakers gave Indiana a 1% chance of winning the NBA title. That the Pacers now find themselves deadlocked at 2-2 with the heavily favored Thunder counts as an astonishing development. But it's not one that's hard to understand. In fact, there's a fairly straightforward reason that Indiana stands on the brink of one of the biggest playoff shockers in modern NBA history. They're coached by a man who has spent his career as the NBA's resident upset maestro. Since 2000, Carlisle has won 49 playoff games against teams with a better seed, according to Stats Perform—the highest total in the entire NBA. And more than a decade before he led the out-of-nowhere Pacers to the brink of a championship, he pulled off one of the most confounding upsets the NBA has ever seen. It was 2011, and LeBron James had just joined the Miami Heat, forming a superteam that he declared would win 'not five, not six, not seven' championships, but even more. The Heat bullied their way to the Finals, where they met Carlisle's Dallas Mavericks—a team that had just a single All-Star to go against Miami's superstar trio. Then Carlisle pulled off the remarkable: Dallas beat Miami four games to two. The outcome stunned not only James and the Heat but the entire basketball world—including a heartbroken 11-year-old LeBron fan who tested the limits of his bedtime in hopes that he'd see James's first championship. His name was Tyrese Haliburton. 'I was confused as to why Dallas was winning,' said Haliburton, who now happens to be the Pacers' starting point guard. 'I didn't understand it.' He understands it a lot better now. Because the key to Carlisle derailing Miami's coronation wasn't too different from the game plan he and Haliburton are putting to work against the Thunder 14 years later. Other teams might have bigger superstars, but superstars can make a team predictable, as they feed the ball to their best players over and over. Carlisle's underdogs run a free-flowing attack. And they're willing to try any tactic to turn a series in their favor—no matter how outlandish. 'Rick liked to go against the grain of what everybody else in the NBA does,' said Mark Cuban, the former Mavericks owner who hired Carlisle. 'We played zone defense when no one else did. Why? Because no one played or practiced against it.' Carlisle's zone helped flummox Miami's high-powered attack. In one game James scored a measly eight points. And on offense, his teams are engineered not to funnel the ball to one player but to zip it across the court, bringing the entire roster—from star forward Dirk Nowitzki to backups unknown to most fans—in on the action. 'We started calling it 'flow.' Everybody was moving, and everybody got shots,' said Terry Stotts, an assistant coach on that Mavericks team. 'Indiana is doing that now, just taking it to another level.' Indeed, this year's Pacers have gotten contributions from nearly every player in uniform. Haliburton has hit astonishing last-second shots in each round of the playoffs. Bennedict Mathurin, a player who barely saw the floor earlier in the playoffs, scored 27 points in Indiana's Game 3 win over the Thunder. That ranked as the most points by a backup player in the Finals since 2011, when Jason Terry hopped off the bench to score 27 against the Heat. Like those Mavericks, this year's Pacers have turned to a defensive strategy rarely seen in the NBA. They've spent the Finals subjecting the Thunder to a full-court press, slowing down and wearing out Oklahoma City's dynamic offense. But all the strategy in the world means nothing without getting players to believe that it will work. Terry said that this is Carlisle's secret sauce—convincing teams that the whole world thinks will lose that the whole world is wrong. 'He's the ultimate used car salesman,' Terry said. 'He can get you to buy into anything.' With up to three games remaining, the Thunder are still the favorites. They have the better record, the starrier names and home-court advantage, with two of the games scheduled to take place here in Oklahoma City. Logic and reason say the Thunder should win, which means exactly one thing. Carlisle has them right where he wants them. Write to Robert O'Connell at

Indiana Pacers coach Rick Carlisle defends referee Scott Foster after ‘unfair and unjust' criticism
OKLAHOMA CITY — Indiana Pacers coach Rick Carlisle offered an impassioned and somewhat unprompted defense of referee Scott Foster on Sunday, evidently aware of the mountains of online criticism that came after Game 4 of the NBA Finals. Foster was one of the three on-court referees assigned to Game 4, which had more fouls called and more free throws awarded than any of the three previous games in the series. Foster — who has long been a lightning rod for critics — did not work any of those first three games. 'I think it's awful, some of the things I've seen about the officiating and Scott Foster in particular,' Carlisle said. 'I've known Scott Foster for 30 years. He's a great official. He's done a great job in these playoffs. We've had him a lot of times.' Foster called 23 personal fouls in the game — 12 on the Oklahoma City Thunder, 11 on the Pacers, with one flagrant on each as well. He also issued double technical fouls, one going to Indiana's Obi Toppin, the other to Oklahoma City's Isaiah Hartenstein. 'We have to do a better job not fouling,' Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton acknowledged after Game 4. Friday's game was the 26th finals game Foster has worked, more than any other active referee. He has worked 262 playoff games, also the most among active refs. But whenever Foster officiates a game, online critics tend to weigh in — almost from the moment the league announces the crews for a given night, which happens about 9 a.m. Eastern on game days. The league does not reveal its ranking system for referees, but Foster having worked 18 finals makes clear he's traditionally one of the highest-rated in the league. And it should be noted that Carlisle was the losing coach in Game 4 — yet felt compelled to defend Foster's work. 'The ridiculous scrutiny that's being thrown out there is terrible and unfair and unjust and stupid,' Carlisle said. Carlisle got to the Foster-related comments after being asked Sunday about how the Pacers let a 10-point second-half lead slip away, got outscored 31-17 in the fourth quarter of Game 4 and what role he thought officiating played in that outcome. 'Tough losses are a part of a playoff series,' Carlisle said. 'If this was easy, they would be pulling people off the street to play in the NBA Finals and coach and do what you guys are doing. You guys are the best in the world. Everybody else here is perceived to be the best in the world at this moment. So it's difficult. You look at it, you take it for what it is and it becomes pretty clear the things that you need to do to be better.' Foster is one of 12 referees assigned to the finals. Each works one of the first four games, and then the NBA selects again to see who will work Games 5, 6 and, if necessary, Game 7. If Foster doesn't work Game 6, it would seem likely he would be a pick to work Game 7 if the series goes that far.
