Rotherham have begun their preparations for life in Sky Bet League One by capturing the signing of Tranmere defender Michael Ihiekwe.

The 24-year-old has agreed a two-year contract at the AESSEAL New York Stadium, according to the Millers’ official website.

He is manager Paul Warne’s first summer recruit following Rotherham’s relegation from the Championship.

Ihiekwe made a total of 42 appearances for Rovers this season as they narrowly missed out on promotion from the Vanarama National League following a play-off final loss to Forest Green.

The Liverpool-born player started his professional career with Wolves and also had a loan spell with Cheltenham.
