Rotherham United's eighth signing of the summer, Kieran Ngwenya, joins with a ready-made relationship with their seventh.

The 23-year-old free transfer has signed on a two-year contract.

Like Ewan Otoo, who joined hours earlier, he was released by Dunfermline Athletic at the end of last season.

Although born in Glasgow and raised in Edinburgh, 23-year-old Ngwenya has played international football for Malawi and Trinidad and Tobago, winning one cap for each. He switched to the Soca Warriors this summer, making his debut five years after playing for Malawi.

Ngwenya came through Aberdeen's youth system, making his professional debut as an 18-year-old.

Until now he has played his whole career in Scotland, with loans at Cove Rangers, Kelty Hearts, Raith Rovers and Partick Thistle before joining the Pars in 2024.

The left-back fell out of favour with Dunfermline manager Neil Lennon in the early part of last season, only to win it back after being converted to central defence.

Although injuries meant Ngwenya and the versatile Otoo only started one game together in 2025-26, it was a different story the previous campaign, where they kicked off 27 games in the same XI.
