Doncaster Rovers boss Grant McCann confirms defender could leave on loan despite signing fresh terms

Seaman’s future at the club was cast into doubt following Tom Nixon’s arrival on loan from Hull City earlier this week, which leaves boss Grant McCann with three right-backs on the books.

McCann handed Seaman, 23, a new one-year contract earlier this summer after the defender fought his way back into the first-team picture last season.

He stands by that decision – but is willing to explore interest in him from other clubs.

McCann told The Free Press: “I have had a conversation with Charlie, there have been two or three clubs that have rang about him.

"Charlie has been at the football club in a different sort of system. We feel there’s potential in him, that’s why we signed him.

"But what I don’t want to do is have Charlie sat not being involved and not playing games.

“If there’s an opportunity for Charlie to go and play somewhere, which there is [...] we will explore it.”

It is understood any exit for Seaman would be a loan move.

He has made 41 appearances for Doncaster since joining the club three years ago.

Twenty-four of those came last season, when he started 12 of the final 15 games.

Seaman has been involved for Rovers throughout pre-season and played 90 minutes as a Doncaster XI beat Middlesbrough Under-21s 5-1 on Tuesday.

Speaking after signing a new deal, Seaman said: "I really want to try and cement a position in the team and play as many games as I can.”
