Rotherham boss Neil Warnock has signed goalkeeper Paddy Kenny for the fifth time in his career.
Kenny, 37, has penned a deal with the Sky Bet Championship strugglers until the end of the season, subject to Football League and Football Association ratification.
Boss Warnock told Rotherham's official website: "Young Alex Cairns is a good keeper but I think that at this level you need a bit of experience at what is a critical time of the season.
"Paddy will give us that in abundance. (Goalkeeping coach) Andy Dibble has been really pleased with him - he has looked sharp and brings great experience at this level."
Goalkeeper Kenny was just 20 and playing for non-league Bradford Park Avenue when Warnock first signed him for Bury. He has since played under him at Sheffield United, QPR and Leeds.
Rotherham have also announced the signing of another out-of-contract player, Lloyd Doyley, on a deal until the end of the season.
The 33-year-old defender featured for the Millers in a reserve game on Wednesday, after training with the club in recent weeks.
Warnock added: "Lloyd is a player that knows the league well and he comes in to help us at a difficult time with a lot of games coming up.
"It was important when the opportunity arose to sign them to get them on board.
"I had Lloyd with me training at QPR and I wanted to sign him then until the end of the season, so I am delighted to be able to do that here.
"If you ask anybody about Lloyd they will tell you that he is a really good pro.
"He played over 500 games for Watford. You can put him anywhere across the back and he will give 100 per cent."
