Rotherham agree deal for Chelsea teenager Swift

ChampionshipRotherham United have signed Chelsea midfield prospect John Swift on a season-long loan deal. The 19-year-old made his Premier League debut as a substitute in Chelsea's 2-1 win at Cardiff City last season.

"It has taken many weeks to secure the signature of this young man, but tenacity paid off," Millers boss Steve Evans told the club website.

"A number of fellow Championship clubs, as well as two European clubs, were keen to sign John, but thankfully he has decided his immediate footballing future is at Rotherham United."
