Rotherham United have signed free agents Alex MacDonald and Cameron Dawson.

MacDonald, a 34-year-old winger, signed a one-year contract and links up with Millers boss Steve Evans for a fourth time after leaving Stevenage at the end of last season.

Goalkeeper Dawson, 28, joins on a two-year deal having spent his career at Sheffield Wednesday and after discussing a new deal after the end of last season.

Evans, whom MacDonald played under at Gillingham and Mansfield as well as Boro, described him as a "small part of a jigsaw".

鈥淢acca is a really good signing for us," Evans said.

"He is best described as a small part of a jigsaw that creates a fantastic picture when it is complete.

鈥淗e will have a part to play on the pitch when it is right to do so and I know he will be a major asset to the club in the season ahead."

On Dawson, Evans added: 鈥淚鈥檓 absolutely delighted to secure the signature of young Cameron.

鈥淗e鈥檚 a player that I鈥檝e watched play for Sheffield Wednesday on many occasions and is a player that has turned in some magnificent displays during that time.

鈥淐am comes in to add real competition with Dillon Phillips in the goalkeeping department where I believe we鈥檙e looking really strong now.鈥
