Giosue Bellagambi had two outings as a substitute for the Millers – gainst Sheffield Wednesday in a private friendly and Doncaster Rovers in Richard Wood's testimonial match – and trained with them for a while.

However, a League One contract wasn't forthcoming and he has now joined Barnet who are among the pace-setters in the fifth tier of English football as they seek a return to the EFL.

Rotherham boss Steve Evans said that the Croydon-born Uganda international was offered terms at AESSEAL New York Stadium but rejected them.

Barnet goalkeeper coach Craig Holloway said, “Gisoue has great power and agility. He's a kid who wants to learn and is technically sound.

“He has a real appetite to improve and has been training with us for some weeks now. He fits into the group nicely.”

Bellagambi has been on the bench for the last three matches but has yet to make his debut.

Meanwhile, another pre-season Millers trialist, Harry Kite, is still seeking a new club.
