The 25 year old midfielder has been training with the Millers for weeks, but finally the Home Office have granted his work permit and he is now available for selection.
Speaking to the Advertiser, boss Matt Taylor said; "It's been a strange six weeks, It's been one of the worst-kept secrets in football history, the fact he's been training with us. He's also been present at some of our games and then trained on the pitch after those games.We've not been able to hide it very well. At a club like Rotherham everything gets out no matter what."
"I'm delighted it's over the line. Fingers crossed international clearance goes through in time for the weekend. He's a player we targeted right at the beginning of the recruitment process."
The Millers paid the home office to fast track the work permit application. "By doing that you can push yourself to the top of the queue, As a club, we've done everything we possibly can to get it sorted as quickly and as smoothly as possible."
"There have been outside parties. It has been complicated in many ways. We've had to do an awful lot of documentation, as has Christ himself."
"We understood the situation. As much as it was frustrating for everyone - for Christ more than anyone else - we have worked through it. The only thing he is missing is game-time. He's trained consistently and is injury-free. The minutes he gets in the next few matches will be dependent on how he is feeling."
