New Rotherham United deal for Ben Wiles
The teenager, who has just broken into the first team, has signed a deal which will keep him at AESSEAL New York Stadium until June 2022.
Wiles, who has come through the Millers' youth system, was a stand-out performer in yesterday's crucial 2-1 home win over Preston North End which lifted Paul Warne's men out of the Championship's bottom three.

"He does have unbelievable legs. Of all the midfielders here, he's got the best set of legs, which is pretty crucial."
The 19-year-old has made 11 appearances this season, mainly from the bench, and has started the last two matches.
First-team and development coach Matt Hamshaw has played a big part in the youngster's rise.
