Rotherham United sign Hakeem Odoffin from Hamilton Accies on a three-year deal

Rotherham United have completed the signing of Hakeem Odoffin from Hamilton Accies.

There was huge interest in the 23-year-old this summer but he's moved to the the English League One side.

It's understood that Accies will receive a six-figure fee for Odoffin, who signed a contract extension last season.

The former Tottenham youngster was a revelation for Hamilton last season, despite their relegation from the Premiership, after Brian Rice deployed him as a defensive midfielder.

On his move to the Millers, Odoffin said: "It feels great to be here, I’m so happy for everything to now be over the line, it has been going on for a long time and I’m happy to finally get it done.

“I held talks with the gaffer and the coaching staff prior to joining. They showed that they wanted me here and they showed intent, that meant a lot to me.

“I’m buzzing with the move. Not only to get back into the English leagues, but it is closer to home as well. I just can’t wait to get started.

“I can play right-back, centre-back and midfield. I played central defensive midfield for the majority of last season and I enjoyed it.

“Wherever the gaffer wants to put me I’m going to give 100% and that is main thing.”
