New Rotherham United signing Shane Ferguson has admitted that the Millers were "unlucky" to be relegated last season, before ensuring the fans that he "will do everything" he can to help the club return to the Championship at the first time of asking, as reported by the Yorkshire Post.
The Northern Ireland international, who recently departed Millwall after making over 200 appearances for the Lions across a six year stint, is Paul Warne's second signing since Rotherham's drop to Sky Bet League One.
Ferguson has experience of escaping this division however, having defeated Bradford City with Millwall in the 2016/17 play-off final, helping to steer the Lions to a sturdy mid-table Championship side.
Speaking to the Yorkshire Post, Ferguson said: “One hundred per cent, it (promotion) is the aim and the manager spoke about that a lot and the ambition is to get back there. Last season, when I was watching from the outside, they were so unlucky with the games they had to catch up on because of Covid.
"I will do everything I can to help the club get back to the Championship."
Warne also commented on his new signing, telling the Yorkshire Post: "I wanted some strength down the left side and Shane, with his ability to play in three different positions – left-back, left wing-back, left wing – is a perfect addition.
