Rotherham United have announced the permanent arrival of Argentine winger Emmanuel Ledesma.

The 27-year-old leaves Middlesbrough for the Millers after having a brief loan spell at Rotherham last season.

"Every Rotherham United fan will be delighted that this young man has joined us on a permanent basis as they have, like me, watched many outstanding performances when he was on loan with us last season," Millers boss Steve Evans told the club website.

Evans revealed that Rotherham had tried to secure a permanent deal during the course of last season, but were not able to complete the capture until recently.

Ledesma made seven appearances, scoring one goal, during his time on loan at Rotherham at the end of 2014.
