Fleming experience is crucial - Knill

Last updated : 01 February 2007 By Deano

Knill has been striving to add esperience to his youthful squad and the arrival of 35 year-old Fleming is just what he's been looking for.

The pair started out at Halifax Town together, a good few years on they are working towards preserving the Millers' League One status.

"Craig is experienced, gives us leadership qualities and is an organiser - and these are three main qualities we need", said Knill in today's Rotherham Star. "He had the opportunity to go to other clubs but chose to come here.He's had an excellent career, played in the Premiership and they think the world of him at Norwich after 10 years there."

Craig himself admits the Knill factor played a massive part on deciding his next move at the latter stages of his career. He explained: "Norwich has been a massive part of my life but this was an opportunity to play first team football and the chance to link up again with Alan Knill - he was a major factor in me coming here."

Knill also captured the siging of Theo Streete until the end of the season yesterday and added: "Theo can play in different positions at the back and I've watched him and I'm pleased to have him here. He'll come here and show what he can do."
