Defender set to sign new contract at Millwall

BY RICHARD CAWLEY

Sid Nelson is set to sign a new contract at Millwall next week.

The 22-year-old centre-back, who spent the end of last season on loan at Chesterfield, is due to be a free agent at the end of June. But the Lions offered Nelson an extension.

Millwall boss Neil Harris said: “Sid has agreed his contract in principle a few weeks ago. We are there with that one. His long-term future is with the club, he knows that.

“It has just been a question of Sid being away, me being away and his agent has been away. We expect to make an announcement on Sid in the middle of next week.

“Some players have been offered contracts who we feel need rewarding or their contracts need adjusting to their level of performance they have put in.

“A couple will be concluded in the middle part of next week.”
