Rotherham defender Richard Wood has signed a new one-year contract with the club.

The 30-year-old, who had loans spells last season at League One sides Chesterfield and Fleetwood, played a big part in the Millers' escape from relegation on his return to the AESSEAL New York Stadium as an 11-game unbeaten run secured Sky Bet Championship survival.

Wood hopes Rotherham can build on the 2015-16 campaign under new boss Alan Stubbs.

"I'm very happy. After the last couple of seasons I just wanted to get my future sorted out in the Championship," he told the club's official website.

"It was straightforward and I agreed it before I went away on holiday. Obviously I've been away for a few weeks but now I'm back and I've come in to sign it and it's all done and dusted now and I'm ready to kick on."
