The Millers will be giving a debut to new on-loan striker Junior, signed from Derby County on Saturday, he will be with us for an inital month although he will not be allowed to play against Derby next Saturday.

Junior
Junior has been allowed to come to Millmoor in a bid to up his fitness after 7 months out with a knee injury, however he has featured for Derby 11 times this season and was in the squad for thier game at Burnley last Friday night, County boss George Burley told the press "He hasn't been a regular for us this season, he was out for a year with a cruciate operation and this is ideal for the boy because he needs to play games to get back to form."

Ronnie is also pleased to get his man, he told the Rotherham Star, "He's a big lad, 6ft 1in, has pace but also holds the ball up well and would be ideal for us if we can pull it off, He has scored goals at this level previously so we know he can do it."

Junior is pleased to be at Millmoor and has hinted at making the deal permanant "I just to want to play and haven't had the chance to do that much this season," he told the official site, "If things work out, who knows, this could become a permanent move."

Ronnie is also looking at Charltons Jerome Thomas, a winger who played against us last season in the Carling Cup game at Arsenal.

However one player who won't feature will be Darren Garner, he got a knock on his ankle against Plymouth last week and is out.
