FORMER Burnley starlet Alan Lee returns to Turf Moor on Saturday wanting to make a point to his old club.
The 23-year-old front-runner has shown his worth after being allowed to leave Burnley for Rotherham United, hitting 13 goals last term as the Millers were promoted for the second season running.
But while that may have made a few people sit up and take notice, he is determined to show the Clarets what they are missing with a strong performance for the Millers on Saturday.
"I do feel that I go back having something to prove, but not in a nasty way," said the gently spoken Galway-born striker.
"I only really started one game and I never did feel that I had shown people at Burnley what I was capable of when I was there.
"But I am looking to go back there, I have a lot of friends at the club and it would be nice to play a good game too."
However, the move to Millmoor has worked out well for Lee, who will be looking to maintain a strike rate of a goal every three games for the Millers.
"I was delighted with the club from day one," enthused Lee.
"I wanted to go there and I have really enjoyed myself since I arrived.
"When I came in their were aiming and hoping to reach the play-offs, so to get the promotion just compounded my delight at joining the club.
"But now we are trying to find our feet in the new division and it is hard, though I feel we have been a little unlucky so far."
The Millers arrive at Turf moor still seeking their first League win of the season having suffered 3-2 defeats at the hands of Crystal Palace and Watford before gaining 1-1 draws with neighbours Barnsley and Sheffield United.
