Rotherham United manager Steve Evans has praised his "special group of players" ahead of the Millers' match against Stevenage.

United, who are currently sitting in fifth place in the League One table, have lost just one game so far this year.

"They're such a special group of players to work with and they come in with smiles on their faces," the 51-year-old told the club's official website.

"They embrace playing here and it's taken 18 months or whatever to put together a team who all want to be here on a journey that's still only a third of the way through. We had a little game in training on Wednesday and the quality was excellent."

Evans joined Rotherham from Crawley Town in 2012.
