ROTHERHAM UNITED have signed Will Grigg from Sunderland on a season-long loan.

The Millers beat off competition from a number of other League One clubs in order to sign the Northern Ireland international, who has not featured in Sunderland's League One line-ups this season.

Given that Grigg's Sunderland contract is due to expire next summer, today's developments mean the striker has almost certainly played his final game for the Black Cats.
