Rotherham United transfer latest: Ex-Middlesbrough forward joins alongside Aston Villa and Manchester United loanees
ROTHERHAM United have completed the signing of experienced forward Duncan Watmore on a short-term deal for the rest of the season.
The 31-year-old has been a free agent since the end of the 2024-25 season, when he was released by Championship outfit Millwall.
Watmore’s arrival has been followed by the loan addition of Manchester United and Wales Under-21 international forward Gabriele Biancheri.
Meanwhile, the Millers have also completed a successful beat-the-deadline swoop to sign Aston Villa left-back Lino Sousa on loan.
Watmore, a former Middlesbrough player, trained with Sheffield Wednesday earlier this season amid speculation that he could head to the Owls.
The news is a boost to the Millers, who missed out on Huddersfield Town bound target Bobby Wales.
Rotherham’s big end-of-window priority had been to add to their striking roster.
Jordan Hugill and Josh Kayode are in the treatment room and loanees Martin Sherif and Kion Etete were allowed to leave, Sam Nombe and Harry Gray are the only fit options in their frontline.
Everton's Sherif has subsequently joined Port Vale, on loan.
A late departure saw defender Sean Raggett, out of contract this summer, join League Two promotion chasers Cambridge United on loan. He is likely to have now played his last game for the club.
