Rotherham United captain Richard Wood has signed a contract extension at the New York Stadium until the summer of 2020.

The 33-year-old defender scored twice in the League One playoff final against Shrewsbury Town in May to send the Millers back to the Championship at the first attempt.

Wood, who signed for Rotherham from Charlton Athletic in 2014, made 42 appearances in all competitions last season.

"I'm really pleased, I am settled here," Wood told the official Millers website.

"I am close to the training ground, my family are settled and at my age it is good to have the security.

"I am really happy, I am pleased to sign and I am really looking forward to the challenge of staying in the Championship."

Wood has played more than 400 league games in his 15-year career.
