Jonson Clarke-Harris leaves Rotherham United
ROTHERHAM United today parted company with Jonson Clarke-Harris as the striker left the club by mutual consent.
The centre-forward was described as "the League One coup of the transfer window" by then-manager Steve Evans when he arrived last summer after leaving Peterborough United.
But the move hasn't worked out and in an injury-hit season last term he scored only eight goals.
He was on substantial wages at AESSEAL New York Stadium and had a year left on his contract so Rotherham will have had to reach a financial settlement with the 30-year-old to ease his passage through the exit door.
New manager Matt Hamshaw had informed the attacker – who won two third-tier Golden Boots with Posh – several weeks ago that he wasn't in his thinking for the forthcoming campaign.
The initial plan was to send Clarke-Harris out on loan but that idea has been superseded by this afternoon's announcement.
The player is now a free agent and seeking fresh employment elsewhere.
