“I’ve worked with a few of the staff members as well before so that always helps. I have a few friends here as well who have spoken highly about the club.
“When I heard about it I was eager to get started.”
When asked what Warne said to him to convince him to sign for Rotherham, Grigg replied: “He was brilliant, just his attacking style of play and how the team likes to get balls in the box and play attacking football.
“I think everyone knows me as a goalscorer so I think just getting balls in the box and just the way he spoke was brilliant.

Grigg has scored eight goals in 62 appearances during his difficult spell at Sunderland, but did score eight times while on loan at MK Dons in the second half of last season.
