Rotherham have broken their transfer record to sign Peterborough winger Jon Taylor on a three-year deal.

The transfer, which is subject to EFL and FA ratification, sees the player end a two-year stay at the ABAX Stadium to step up a division into the Championship with Alan Stubbs' side.

Taylor, 24, had a medical with Rotherham on Wednesday morning before he moved for an undisclosed fee to the Yorkshire team.

Manager Stubbs told the club's official website: "The fact that we have broken our club record transfer fee just shows you what we think of Jon and what he can bring to the football club.

"He is a very dynamic footballer who has got an eye for a goal. He is also a creative player and I think that he will be an excellent addition to the squad.

"He fits the profile of the players that we are looking to bring here. His role within the team will be to be dynamic.

"He is very quick, he looks like he enjoys taking defenders on which is great to see. I think he will be a very exciting player."
