Rotherham United sign defender Semi Ajayi from Cardiff City on permanent deal

Championship strugglers Rotherham have completed the permanent signing of defender Semi Ajayi from Cardiff City.

The 23-year-old arrived at New York Stadium on loan in January and has made nine appearances for the club so far, scoring once.

He has now penned a contract with the Millers, who are currently 24 points adrift of safety, which runs until the summer of 2020.

Interim manager Paul Warne told the club's official website: "He has really impressed us around the training ground with his attitude.

"He always wants to play, even when he has been sore after games, he was ready to go again for the club.

"That is the kind of mentality that we want here, I think you can really judge someone's character from their desire to go through the pain barrier for the team."
