"I went out to Croatia to have a look at the training camp there,” Warne said.

“It was really good but I wanted to do a recce to get a couple of runs in to make sure they have one when we're out there. I've sorted those out.

"I saw the facilities and was really pleased with them.

"We haven't been to Croatia in pre-season before and it's a big deal for us because that stage of pre-season is always a big week for us.

"I flew out last week for a day and came back. I'm really happy with that and we've got it all booked up now.

"I wouldn't say I'm looking forward to coming back for pre-season just yet but it is always nice when you know that you've got a trip and you get the lads together. It's essential for us.”

The Millers are yet to announce firm pre-season plans in this country, though League Two side Crewe announced they will host Warne’s side at Gresty Road on July 23.
