MacDonald and Dawson join Rotherham

Alex MacDonald has played over 100 games under Rotherham boss Steve Evans at previous clubs

Rotherham United have signed free agents Alex MacDonald and Cameron Dawson.

MacDonald, a 34-year-old winger, signed a one-year contract and links up with Millers boss Steve Evans for a fourth time after leaving Stevenage at the end of last season.

Goalkeeper Dawson, 28, joins on a two-year deal having spent his career at Sheffield Wednesday and after discussing a new deal after the end of last season.

Evans, whom MacDonald played under at Gillingham and Mansfield as well as Boro, described him as a "small part of a jigsaw".

“Macca is a really good signing for us," Evans said.

"He is best described as a small part of a jigsaw that creates a fantastic picture when it is complete.

“He will have a part to play on the pitch when it is right to do so and I know he will be a major asset to the club in the season ahead."

On Dawson, Evans added: “I’m absolutely delighted to secure the signature of young Cameron.

“He’s a player that I’ve watched play for Sheffield Wednesday on many occasions and is a player that has turned in some magnificent displays during that time.

“Cam comes in to add real competition with Dillon Phillips in the goalkeeping department where I believe we’re looking really strong now.”
