Mark Burchill
Finally Ronnie has brought a forward to the club, Mark Burchill from Portsmouth is tonight traveling up north and will finalise the loan deal and train with the rest of the Millers team in prior to Saturdays game with Millwall.

The official site broke the news that we had finally made a signing at around 5:20 but have decided not to name him before the deal is completed, but its a shame they didnt let Portsmouth in on the big secret as they've put it on thier official site!!!

Burchill 24, will join on a month long loan, in an attempt to kick-start his career. Ronnie Moore will be hoping he can re-start Burchill's career. The former Celtic starlet was signed for Pompey by Graham Rix, but was sidelined for 10 months with a knee injury and hasnt featured much since, however if he plays another game for Pompey then they would have to pay Celtic around half a million as part of the deal that took him to fratton park.
