Jamie Lindsay signs new Rotherham United contract

ROTHERHAM United will have Jamie Lindsay in their squad when they return to the Championship next term after reaching agreement with the midfielder over a new deal.

The 26-year-old has signed a new contract that keeps him at AESSEAL New York Stadium for the next two years.

The development is a boost to the promoted Millers as they bid to consolidate their place at a higher level as the former Celtic youngster was arguably their best performer in the second tier two seasons ago.

Rotherham chose not to activate a 12-month option to extend Lindsay's present terms, which were due to expire at the end of this month, preferring instead to offer him a longer-term stay.

The Scot, who moved from Ross County for a fee close to £200,000 in 2019, has made 100 appearances in his three years with the club.

Other clubs, including League One Portsmouth, had shown interest in him.
