Rotherham United are delighted to confirm the season-long loan capture of UD Almeria winger Arvin Appiah, subject to ratification from the EFL, FA and international clearance.
Appiah came through the youth ranks at Nottingham Forest, making his professional bow in October 2018 in a League Cup tie against Burton Albion, getting himself on the scoresheet in a 3-2 defeat.
The Amsterdam-born operator appeared a further six times for Forest and attracted interest from across the globe, including from Spanish side Almeria, who snapped him up for a multi-million move in the summer of 2019.
He appeared 24 times in all competitions during his first campaign on Spanish soil, helping UDA finish in a Play-off spot in the Spanish second tier. Since then, he has furthered his footballing development with loan moves to the likes of Lugo, Tenerife and Malaga.
The 22-year-old has represented England from U16 to U19 level and even featured at the AESSEAL New York Stadium for the Three Lions’ U17 side in a victory over Germany.
Appiah arrives as Matt Taylor’s eighth signing of the summer transfer window and will wear the number 30 shirt during his time in South Yorkshire.
