Harding, 23 – who predominantly plays at right-back, but can play across the back four – has signed a deal until the summer of 2023 - and is the Millers’ fourth signing of the close season.

Leicester-born Harding will provide another invaluable defensive option for manager Paul Warne.

Harding said: “I’m buzzing to be a Miller, I feel like one of the lads already, it’s a family club and I’m just happy to be here.

“The manager and his staff have been really nice and it was quite easy for me. I didn’t have a big decision to make, it just felt right.”

“I had a zoom call with the gaffer and his coaching staff and it was a really nice chat. They made me feel welcome and comfortable, that was one of the main things for me really.”

Hamilton winger Mickel Miller, Hull City defender Angus MacDonald and Doncaster Rovers midfielder Kieran Sadlier have already joined the club.

The Millers are now likely to focus their attentions to bringing in a goalkeeper following Daniel Iversen’s return to Leicester.
