Matt Smith: former Millwall striker backs Gary Rowett to end Lions' Premier League wait

Former Millwall striker Matt Smith has backed his former manager Gary Rowett to finally break the club's Premier League duck.

The south Londoners, who were last in the top flight in the 1989-90 season, sit seventh in the Championship.

Smith, 33, scored 17 goals in 91 games in three seasons at the Den before joining Salford City in 2022.

"Season on season they seem to be getting closer. Rowett has taken them to the next level," Smith said.

"They look like a really, really strong outfit again this season. You expect them to be at the top end of the table now.
