Rotherham land ‘marquee signing’ ahead of League One return

Jonson Clarke-Harris expressed his enthusiasm for returning to Rotherham as they gear up for the challenges of League One. Making a notable move from Peterborough, he committed to a two-year deal with the Millers at the New York Stadium.

Considered a significant addition to the squad, Clarke-Harris aims to contribute to Rotherham’s quest for redemption following their relegation, having garnered a mere 27 points in the Championship. Having clinched consecutive Golden Boot awards in the third tier during his tenure at Posh since 2020, he brings a potent attacking prowess to the team.

Reuniting with manager Steve Evans, who previously secured his signature from Oldham in 2014 for a club record fee, adds further excitement to Clarke-Harris’s return. Evans, recently back at the helm after a successful stint with Stevenage, holds a special place in Clarke-Harris’s career, with a strong mutual respect evident between the two.

Clarke-Harris’s decision to rejoin Rotherham was influenced significantly by Evans, emphasizing the positive rapport and trust they share. Reflecting on his initial departure from the club due to injury, Clarke-Harris views his return as an opportunity to fulfill unfinished business and make a meaningful impact on the pitch.
