By Josh Harris, Reporter | 01 June 2014

Rotherham United chairman Tony Stewart has expressed his belief that the playoff winners are 'destined for the top flight' following their promotion to the Championship.

Rotherham beat Leyton Orient in the playoff final last weekend, and the Millers chairman has set his sights on reaching the top flight already.

Stewart told BBC Radio Sheffield: "It will be when, not if, definitely. Hull have done it, smaller clubs have done it. We're going to do well this season, I'm looking forward to it."

Stewart, a former lighting salesman, bought the club in 2008 and is understood to be considering expanding the New York stadium.
