The Merry Miller.
League One rivals Rotherham United have signed midfielder Justin Cochrane on a free transfer.
The 24-year old has signed a two-year deal at Millmoor after he was released from Crewe at the end of last season.

Hackney born Cochrane joined the Alex back in July 2003 after impressing in a pre-season game against Everton. During his stay he managed 77 appearances without failing to score. Last season Cochrane found himself down the pecking order at Gresty Road and was loaned out to Gillingham where he made five appearances scoring once in the process.

After his release he had been linked with a few clubs Yeovil, Brentford and also he had a trial at Luton Town. Now he joins former team-mate and Northern Ireland International Colin Murdock at Millmoor as they, Rotherham United try and claw back the ten point deduction imposed on them after going into administration at the end of the season.

Cochrane becomes Alan Knill's fifith signing of the close season joining Delroy Facey, Ian Sharps (both of Tranmere), Richie Partridge (Sheff Weds) and Scott Wiseman (Hull City) as they face a very tough season ahead.
