He has extensive experience of playing in the Championship, having done so for QPR and Sheffield United and will add strike power to a depleted attacking unit.

Washington, who has also played for Newport, Peterborough and Hearts, scored 11 goals in 38 appearances for the Addicks last season, including one against the Millers in November.

He will join up with his new team-mates when they return for pre-season training at the end of June.
