Millers finally confirm Cresswell deal

Last updated : 20 June 2010 By Deano

As we first reported earlier last week, the 22 year-old Swinton born defender was hotly tipped to join up with his home town club after becoming available.

His contract at Bury had expired but he turned down the chance of an extension at Gigg Lane, where he was managed by former Millers boss and player Alan Knill.

Cresswell spent time on loan with the club in 2007, playing not only as a centre half but as an emergency striker and will cost the club a compensation fee as he is under 23.

He is expected to play a key part in the role vacated by Ian Sharps' move to Shrewsbury Town.

We wish Ryan every success in his time with the club.
