BREAKING: Derbyshire swaps Millers for Omonoia Nicosia

ROTHERHAM United's top-goalscorer of the last two seasons, Matt Derbyshire, has left the New York Stadium.

The 30-year-old striker has turned down a new contract offer with the Millers - which was offered to him before the arrival of new boss Alan Stubbs - in favour of joining Cypriot side Omonoia Nicosia.

The move ends his two year star at the New York  and sees him return to foreign shores after a stint with Greek side Olympiacos earlier in his career.

We understand the former Nottingham Forest and Blackburn Rovers man was offered a one year extension to his deal, but chose to move abroad instead.

Derbyshire netted eight times as Rotherham secured their second tier status last term, depite playing for large parts of the season a left midfielder.

Omonoia Nicosia are currently managed by former Newcastle United manager John Carver.
