The Northern Ireland international was released by npower Championship side Cardiff at the end of last season and Millers boss Ronnie Moore was close to agreeing a deal for the 19-year-old, which would have represented a massive coup for the League Two club.
But following interest from the Scottish outfit, Magennis agreed on a move to Pittodrie, leaving Moore's search for a new striker ongoing. "We thought we had everything sorted but then Aberdeen came in and offered him silly money," Moore told the Star.
