Matt Kilgallon, who had been linked with a number of clubs including Coventry City if you believe certain reports, has opted to go out on loan to Doncaster Rovers for the rest of the season.
York born Kilgallon, was sold by Sheffield United to Sunderland for £1m last year but has struggled to get into the Mackams side and was loaned out to Middlesbrough before injury ended his ttime at the Riverside.
The central defender, who started his career at Leeds United, told the Yorkshire Post: "This is a fresh start for me and I just wish it could have been done sooner. The last 12 months have not been enjoyable and I just want to play football again.
