Struggling Championship side Rotherham have signed Burnley defender Daniel Lafferty on a loan deal for one month.
The 25-year-old has made just two appearances for the Clarets this season following their promotion to the Premier League.
And the Northern Ireland international believes the move to the AESSEAL New York Stadium will give him an opportunity to get back on track after a frustrating campaign.
"I'm definitely looking to achieve some game time and some experience here," Lafferty said.
The Derry-born player explained the move came about after a brief chat with Burnley manager Sean Dyche on Wednesday.
“I travelled with Burnley to Liverpool for preparation for the game last night,” he said on Thursday.
“Then I got the phone call yesterday afternoon and spoke to Sean Dyche the manager and he confirmed it. It all moved quite quickly and by the middle of yesterday I knew I was coming here and it was all done and dusted.”
Lafferty, who began his career at Celtic, is the 28th signing Rotherham manager Steve Evans has made since the summer.
The former Ayr and Derry player will be in the Millers squad to face Huddersfield on Saturday.
