Despite being touted as "the new Des Walker",[1] Warner struggled to break into the first team and spent time on loan with Grimsby Town during the 1995-1996 season who were managed by Warner's former team mate Brian Laws. He played 3 times for Grimsby before returning to the City Ground in April 1996.
Rotherham United
Following a two-month loan spell with Rotherham United at the start of the 1997-1998 season, Warner signed for the club on a free transfer in November 1997. Warner played 63 times in league and cup competitions during his time with United, scoring 1 goal on 8 August 1998 in a 3-1 home win over Hull City. Warner was released by United in the summer of 2000 after spending three seasons with The Millers.
