The 25-year-old who has registered four goals in 35 games this campaign joins Bury’s Scott Wharton, Swindon Town’s Luke Woolfenden and Stoke City's Tom Edwards to make up the four-man defence.

The Millers are 22nd in the second tier of the English League and they will be seeking to stretch their unbeaten run when they visit Sheffield United on Saturday.
