Rotherham have re-signed defender Ian Sharps after he rejected a new deal at Shrewsbury.

The 31-year-old centre-back, who has signed a two-year contract, made just under 200 appearances for the Millers in a four-year spell between 2006 and 2010 before leaving to join the Shrews. But despite the offer of a new deal and League One football with Graham Turner's side, Sharps has opted to rejoin the Millers as they move into their purpose-built New York Stadium this summer. "It has taken a long time to get Ian here," said manager Steve Evans. "He has had a fantastic two years at Shrewsbury, he is someone we admire and respect and I am looking forward to seeing him in action." Sharps becomes the third signing of the close season for the Millers, following in the footsteps of Daniel Nardiello and Kayode Odejayi.
