Greg Halford joins Rotherham United

Free agent Greg Halford signs for Rotherham United following his release by Nottingham Forest.

Rotherham United have completed the signing of defender Greg Halford on a free transfer.

The 30-year-old, who becomes Rotherham's seventh signing of the summer, was a free agent after being released by Nottingham Forest last week.

Millers boss Steve Evans has revealed that he had been targeting Halford's signature for some time.

"The chairman more than anyone will be aware that when I provided him with a list at the beginning of May of players we were targeting, Greg Halford quite simply was at the top of that list," Evans told Rotherham's official website.

"There are a number of reasons behind that, not only is he a talented footballer, he is a talented footballer in a vast number of positions. He was nothing short of outstanding when he played as a main striker, when he led by example in helping Nottingham Forest to the playoffs when Billy Davies was in charge.

"Having spoken to Billy he gave Greg a huge endorsement, not only for his ability to play as a striker, but equally playing in central midfield, any full-back position and as many people will identify playing at centre-back."

Halford made 82 appearances in his three years with Forest, scoring eight times.
