How Paul Warne landed signing number nine Scott High for Rotherham United

The young Huddersfield Town midfielder this afternoon became the Millers' ninth summer signing as he finalised a season-long stay at AESSEAL New York Stadium on the eve of Championship opening day.

Rotherham boss Paul Warne met with the Dewsbury-born 21-year-old at a local eaterie yesterday.

High liked what he heard and saw and was happy to make the switch to South Yorkshire.

He joined Huddersfield as a nine-year-old, coming through the youth ranks to make 25 appearances last term as the Terriers reached the second-tier play-off final where they lost out to Nottingham Forest on a place in the Premier League.

Rotherham have had him on their recruitment list for several weeks and have tracked him through pre-season.

Rotherham have signed three players in six days - defenders Grant Hall and Lee Peltier and now High - as they gear up for tomorrow's New York clash against Swansea City.

Warne wants to and a second midfield man to his squad and has identified a free-transfer target.

"The midfield is the strongest part of our team but we are only ever one or two injuries away from a disaster," he said.

"The way we play with three high-energy midfielders, I really think we need to carry six."

The boss remains in the market for a striker and has spoken to two players but no arrival is imminent.
