Millers tieing up Holmes deal

Last updated : 03 July 2007 By Deano
Holmes, who arrives at Millmoor on a two year deal subject to passing his medical this afternoon, is a big strong striker who hails from Scotland.

Having formerly applied his trade at Carlisle, Bournemouth and various Scottish outfits, he seems the much needed presence up front that fans have wanted and holds a good goalscoring record in recent seasons.

The 28 year-old had been with the Cumbrians since February 2005 when he moved back North after his spell at Dean Court.

More on the deal and an interview with the new boy later, meanwhile here's his stats:
