Millers in seventh heaven after Halford signing

ROTHERHAM United made it seven summer signings when they captured 30-year-old Greg Halford.

The versatile player was released from Nottingham Forest at the end of last season after enjoying a spell on loan with Brighton and Hove Albion.

His previous clubs include Sunderland and Sheffield United, as well as the club where he made his name, Colchester United.

Manager Steve Evans told the club website: “The Chairman more than anyone will be aware that when I provided him with a list at the beginning of May of players we were targeting, Greg Halford quite simply was at the top of that list.

“There are a number of reasons behind that, not only is he a talented footballer, he is a talented footballer in a vast number of positions. He was nothing short of outstanding when he played as a main striker, when he led by example in helping Nottingham Forest to the play-offs when Billy Davies was in charge. Having spoken to Billy he gave Greg a huge endorsement, not only for his ability to play as a striker, but equally playing in central midfield, any full-back position and as many people will identify playing at centre-back. "

Halford joins Joe Mattock, Lewis Buxton, Aidy White, Danny Collins, Manu Ledesma and Tom Thorpe as the Millers' new signings.
