Strange one
Maybe Rotherham can’t afford him following relegation

Work mate is Rotherham season ticket holder, reckoned Towell was utter gash at League One level but was one of their best performers last year in the Championship.
Strange he now thinks league 2 is his level.

Bear in mind that Salford have deeper pockets than any League 2 club has ever had. They've got to be pushing for promotion again next season. They bought Adam Rooney in from the Scottish Premier League on big money and they won't be shy about spending a bit of cash on players they think will get them out of League 2 and then compete in League 1. In theory, Towell should be a good signing for them and should be a class above in League 2. For him, it's a bit strange to play in the 4th tier but if it goes well for him there, a couple of years time he could be playing regularly in the Championship without having to move clubs. And I'm sure they're paying him a solid whack, so why not. Good luck to the man.
Indeed.
Currently 12/1 for the L2 title next season.
I suspect those odds will be a little skinnier by the end of the transfer window.

Shoo-in for Lg 2 team of the season I would've thought.

Good luck to the lad.
Only downside, is that he'll see the the Chuckle Brothers tribute act!

Pretty poor from Albion that they haven't made any announcement about Towell and Hemed yet. Towell has spent three-and-a-half years at the club (albeit much of it out on loan) and he was signed as a first-team squad member. Hemed has been an Albion player for 4 years and was an integral member of the Championship promotion-winning squad. I think the least they (and Albion's fans) deserve is a formal announcement of their contract status (and a thank you for their service).

Report says we released him with no fee.
Must be good contract terms to make a decision like this so early.

I’m ever unlikely to see this passage of play:
“Towell plays it to Tau, who returns the compliment, playing in Towell who strokes the ball home past the goalies”.

He will exceed in League 2. Unlike our wet flannels last year.
