Rotherham United have signed defender Wes Harding from fellow Championship club Birmingham for an undisclosed fee.

The 23-year-old joins on a deal until the summer of 2023 and becomes manager Paul Warne's fourth signing since promotion from League One last season.

He made 19 appearances for Blues in 2019-20 and played 60 games for the club he joined aged 16 in 2012.

"I'm buzzing to be a Miller. I didn't have a big decision to make, it just felt right," he told the club website., external

"I'm fast, athletic, strong and like to get up and down the pitch. I'm quite attack-minded, but I also like to be defensively sound as well."

The Millers have already signed Mickel Miller, Kieran Sadlier and Angus MacDonald in this transfer window following their promotion from League One.
