Rotherham defender Kirk Broadfoot has signed a new two-year deal with the Sky Bet Championship club.

Broadfoot, 31, was handed the captain's armband towards the end of last season as the Millers ensured another season in the second tier.

"I'm obviously pleased to get the deal done and I've loved my time at Rotherham since I've been here," Broadfoot told the club's official website.

"I'm delighted to get it over the line and it's taken a bit of time to get it done, but that was nothing to do with myself or the club it was more personal family reasons."

The former Rangers centre-half is relishing the prospect of working with Millers' new boss Alan Stubbs.

"I'm looking forward to playing under the new manager, especially with him being a centre-half in his playing career at the top level and I'm always looking to learn," Broadfoot added.

"I spoke to a few boys that he's managed at Hibs and they all speak highly of him so I'm looking forward to getting started."
