Rotherham boss Steve Evans believes there is a chance Lawrie Wilson's loan move from Charlton could become permanent in the summer.
Wilson made his Millers debut in Saturday's 3-2 derby defeat to Sheffield Wednesday, 24 hours after joining from the Addicks until the end of the season.
Wilson had made 27 appearances for the London side but was not a regular under new boss Guy Luzon.
His capture - Evans' 30th signing of the season - ends a long chase which began when the Addicks visited Rotherham in the Championship in September.
"We have been looking for a player who can play that right side of midfield role for a couple of months now," Evans said. "Someone that could come in with the industry and skilful attributes that improves us.
"We asked about Lawrie Wilson as far back as when we played Charlton at home earlier in the season.
"Bob Peeters said he would get back to me and I am still waiting for Bob Peeters to get back to me!
"He's a good player, it looks like Charlton are moving in a different direction, we are just pleased the Charlton manager said yes.
"It's a wonderful opportunity for a player to look at a football club and a football club to look at a player.
"We have got the option to do something further and that is on Lawrie and ourselves."
Wilson made his bow in the right-sided midfield role on Saturday but Evans believes he can offer versatility.
"Charlton FC have been terrific, we knew for a few days that he was in the door.
"He can play right-back, right side of midfield, central midfield and right-sided centre-half, but predominantly he is a right-sided midfielder."
