Doncaster Rovers are not actively pursuing the services of Mallik Wilks following his recent departure from Sheffield Wednesday.

 

That is according to the Doncaster Free Press, who also state that last season’s League Two champions did entertain the possibility of reuniting with the winger following his exit from Hillsborough after spending last season on loan with South Yorkshire rivals, Rotherham United.

 

Wilks’ career has largely been spent in his native county, and he arguably spent the best years of his career thus far with Rovers boss Grant McCann, initially on loan at the Eco-Power Stadium during the club’s run to the League One play-offs, before the Northern Irishman bought the wide man to Hull City, once again on an initial temporary basis, before that particular deal was made permanent in the summer of 2020.

 

However, as the Leeds-born attacker prepares for his next venture amid suggestions of a potential move across the continent, he will not be returning to Doncaster as they prepare for their first season at third tier level since 2021/22.

Talk over Wilks’ immediate future began in mid-April as his contract with the Owls entered its final weeks, as Football Insider revealed that the 26-year-old was on the radar of Konyaspor, Levski Sofia and Aris Limassol of Turkey, Bulgaria and Cyprus respectively.

 

Former Rotherham boss Steve Evans also spoke of his desire to keep Wilks at the New York Stadium prior to his dismissal and the subsequent appointment of Matt Hamshaw, who gave a mixed response as to whether the scenario would play out in the regular season’s final week.
