Millers land Toffolo from Norwich City

NEW Rotherham United manager Neil Redfearn has made his first signing for the club, bringing in young defender Harry Toffolo from Premier League side Norwich City.

The 20-year-old has signed on an emergency loan deal subject to Football League and Premier League ratification.

It is thought Toffolo will provide cover for Joe Mattock, who picked up an injury in Saturday's defeat to Brentford.

Toffolo progressed through the youth ranks at Carrow Road before breaking in to the first team and enjoyed a loan spell at Swindon Town last season, in which he made 30 appearances.

After arriving in South Yorkshire yesterday, the Welwyn Garden City-born defender linked up with his new team mates at club training headquarters at Roundwood this morning.

“I first heard the news yesterday morning,” Harry told the club's website.

“I was getting ready to spend my Sunday with my girlfriend but then I got the news from my agent, and I was very keen to come to Rotherham.

"I was impressed with the stadium from the minute I turned up, so I am looking forward to playing here for Rotherham now. I have trained today and all the lads have been great with me so I am really excited now to be here."

Toffolo could make his debut when the Millers entertain Reading tomorrow evening, (7.45pm KO).
