Rotherham land Norwich striker on loan

Rotherham United have completed the loan capture of striker Carlton Morris from Norwich City until the end of the season.

The 21-year-old is yet to break into the Canaries first team and has previously had loan spells with Oxford United, York City and Scottish Premiership side Hamilton Academical.

"The best way to explain his game is like a young Revs (Alex Revell)," interim Millers manager Paul Warne told the club's website. "He's really mobile, direct and he wants to get a goal. He can play in a three up front or a two and he's even led the line on his own.

"He's really hard-working and really athletic which is what I want. He's a good age and he's friends with Tom Adeyemi here, so Tom knows him and has explained how the club works and he's really keen to come in and play.

"He went on loan to Hamilton last year and scored a lot of goals and he's a real handful. I spoke to him and told him the way we play. We create chances and we're excellent at home especially and we're pretty direct and the strikers are expected to work hard but get their rewards. He's really happy to come here and join in and help us with this fight."

Rotherham are currently rock bottom of the Championship, 11 points from safety with 18 games of their season left to play.
