Video: '˜No hesitation' - Semi Ajayi sees Rotherham United as best possible move

The pacy Cardiff City defender, 23, has joined the Millers on loan for the rest of the season and could make his debut in this evening’s Championship game at Nottingham Forest.

The Millers also completed the permanent signing of Plymouth Argyle left-back Ben Purrington for a six-figure fee believed to be in the region of £300,000 yesterday and are confident of landing three more players ahead of the deadline - another defender, striker and a winger.

On joining the Millers, Ajayi, who had spells at Arsenal and Charlton earlier in his career, said: “There were quite a few other teams interested. But when I got the call from Rotherham, I made my mind up straightaway and I wanted to come.

“I was definitely looking to get more game time and Rotherham were able to offer that to me, so I was happy to come.

“We will see what happens and I need to speak to Cardiff about what happens with my future. I am just looking to playing as well as I can and what happens in the summer will happen.

“Hopefully, I can kick on and help the team go forward and I am at a key stage in my career and need to play (competitive) football.”
