Rotherham United are set to sign the defender as they look to improve their defence through experience and poise.

Rotherham United

According to Yorkshire Post‘s Leon Wobschall, Harrogate Town defender Kyle Jameson has left the League Two strugglers at the expiry of his contract. The defender is headed for relegation threatened Rotherham United.

The 27 year old had been a free agent after leaving the Exiles at the end of last season. Jameson joined the Sulphurites on a short-term deal in November following a successful trial period.

He’s made five League Two appearances for Harrogate, totalling 356 minutes. Whilst there’s no goals or assists attached to his name, he’s done the job expected of a depth centre‑back.

Jameson has stepped in, keeping things simple, and offering physical presence when called upon.

He has now headed for a fresh start as the Millers continue to realign their squad in preparation for a key final third of the 2025-26 campaign. For the Millers it has now descended into a fight to preserve their league status.

What Can He Add To Rotherham’s Back Line

Kyle Jameson would give Rotherham a defender who’s already shown he can handle the physical rhythm of the EFL, even in a limited sample.

His five League Two appearances and 356 minutes this season paint the picture of a centre‑back who steps in without disrupting structure.

He keeps things simple, and defends with a front‑foot mentality.

Kyle Jameson is not a headline signing, but he is the kind of reliable, low‑maintenance defender who can plug gaps, cover injuries, and offer stability in a back line that’s been stretched at times.

So, what makes him useful for Rotherham is the profile? Jameson is often strong in duels, comfortable defending space, and disciplined enough to play in systems that demand concentration.

His minutes this season show he can drop into a side and perform without needing a long run of games to find rhythm.

For a club trying to rebuild defensive depth on a budget, Jameson adds height, aggression, and a steady presence. Jameson is the sort of signing that quietly raises the floor of the squad.
