Farrelly completes loan move to Rotherham

Rotherham have signed Republic of Ireland midfielder Gareth Farrelly on a month's loan from Bolton.

Rotherham have signed Republic of Ireland midfielder Gareth Farrelly on a month's loan from Bolton.

Manager Ronnie Moore has been a long-time admirer of the 27-year-old who will go straight into the Millers squad for the trip to Gillingham on Saturday.

The former Everton player signed for Wanderers in December 1999 but has struggled to hold down a first-team place at the Reebok Stadium, making just 10 appearances this season.

A delighted Moore said: "Gareth's not an aggressive player but he'll give us something a bit different in midfield, particularly away from home when he can put his foot on the ball.

"He's here for a month and we'll take it from there. I'd like to think he'll stay for longer if things work out."

Farrelly has played six times for the Republic.
