Loanee makes Rotherham switch permanent

Rotherham have completed the permanent signing of experienced striker Richie Barker. The 33-year-old has been on-loan at the Millers from Hartlepool since September and has done enough to earn a permanent stay. Although Barker managed just one goal in 13 games, Rotherham boss Mark Robins has moved quickly to secure his services long-term upon the opening of the January transfer window. Barker netted 27 goals in 73 appearances for Pools, including the goal which clinched promotion back to League One at Wycombe in 2007. A club statement said: "Everyone at Hartlepool United would like to thank him for his services and wish him all the best for the future."
