Regarding the transfer, Ayala said: “It was hard because I was without a team for about four months and I couldn’t train by myself. I’m happy to be here.

I wanted to stay in the Championship and I’m very happy that Rotherham are here this time. I hope I can play in the championship for another year. “The first day was very good. There have been a few players I’ve played with or against over the years.

Last season we lost 4-0 to Blackburn when we played Rotherham. I knew they were an honest group of lads who wanted to fight for the shirt and would do everything possible to get the three points. “I’m looking forward to getting started because I always give 100% to the team I play for.”
