Shane Ferguson signs for Rotherham United

Rotherham United have announced the signing of Northern Ireland international Shane Ferguson.

The left sided operator joins after his contract with Sky Bet Championship side Millwall expired.

He made over 200 appearances in Lions’ colours during a six year spell at The New Den.

Ferguson began his career at Newcastle and in 2013 he made a loan move to Birmingham City and then to Rangers in 2015.

Another loan away from St James' Park came in 2015 to Millwall where he would later go on to sign permanently in 2016 after an impressive campaign.

During his first season, he played 46 times in a mammoth season for the South London club which saw them reach the Papa John’s Trophy semi-final, as well as the Sky Bet League One Play-off final.

A year later Millwall would return to the Play-off final where they won promotion against Bradford City, in a campaign which saw the Northern Irishman appear 52 times, and hitting the net on four occasions.

He was on the scoresheet in a famous 3-0 Emirates FA Cup win over Leicester City.

In his last season at the Den he played 16 times, the last coming back in March against Derby County.

The nimble left-footer has 47 caps for the Green and White Army and was in the Euro 2016 squad.
