Rotherham have signed striker Tom Lawrence on loan from Leicester.
The 20-year-old, who began his career at Manchester United, only joined the Foxes in September, penning a four-year deal but has yet to feature for them.
Lawrence had loan spells at Yeovil and Carlisle last season while he made his only appearance for United in the 3-1 win over Hull last May.
He becomes the second signing of the week for boss Steve Evans, who brought left-back Reece James in from the Old Trafford club on Wednesday.
"Tom Lawrence is a young man that I first watched at Manchester United where he has been since he was a kid," Evans said.
"I watched him develop at Manchester United reserves and also during a loan spell at Yeovil Town, and he was a stunning performer in a side that was fighting for survival in the Championship.
"Leicester City under Nigel Pearson have a reputation for buying young and exciting talent so it was no surprise to see him join during the summer.
"We have continued to track his progress at Leicester which included watching Tom during behind-closed-door games and Under-21 matches and he has been stunning.
"I first approached Nigel about taking him a couple of months ago but at that time they didn't want to let him leave, but we asked again a fortnight ago and was delighted to get a deal on the table where we could take him on emergency loan."
Lawrence joined James at the Millers' training ground for the first time on Thursday and both are in contention to face Blackpool on Saturday.
