BREAKING: Stubbs agrees three-year-deal at Millers

ROTHERHAM United chairman Tony Stewart has exclusively told the Advertiser that Hibernian manager Alan Stubbs has agreed to fill the vacant managerial post at the New York Stadium, penning a three year deal.

Mr Stewart said this afternoon that he was hoping to complete 'the final link in the chain' and agree compensation with the Scottish Championship club this evening.

All being well and barring any last minute hitches, Mr Stewart expects to present Stubbs to the press at a 2pm tomorrow (Wednesday) at the New York Stadium.

Forty four-year-old Stubbs - who lifted the Scottish Cup with Hibs just nine days ago - takes over from Neil Warnock, who departed the club after keeping them in the Championship with an 11 match unbeaten run towards the end of last season.

Mr Stewart said: "We've spoken, we've agreed terms and what we are working towards now is agreeing compensation.

"It's the final link in the chain, it's a formality.

"He has signed on a three-year-contract and is a well admired young man in Scotland.

"According to the Scottish press, they think we're very fortunate to get him and he'll be a big loss to Hibs."
