Malmo have signed Brazilian striker Junior from Odense (OB) of Denmark.

Junior, who had scored 10 goals in 16 games for OB since signing for them in November 2005, has signed a 3 year deal for the Swedish side.

Although the fee is 'undisclosed' the Danish press have speculated about a fee of almost £1 million!

After signing for Danish club Odense at the end of October, Junior scored on his full debut in OB's 3-0 home victory over 3rd placed Viborg.

The victory solidifies Odense's position in 4th place in the Danish Super League and Junior is satisfied with how things are going in Denmark.

"It was a great game for the team and I was very happy to score my first goal for Odense. Bruce (Rioch - the manager) was pleased and hopefully it will be the first of many goals that I score for them," said Junior.

Derby County striker Junior has joined Rotherham United on a one-month loan deal.

The Brazilian goalscorer has been a regular on Derby's bench this season and the move has been arranged in order to give him regular first-team football.

"After coming back from his cruciate knee injury at the back end of season, it has been frustrating for Junior at Derby so far this season," said agent Mark Taylor.

"He needs games and hopefully this move can benefit both Junior and Rotherham."

Junior is set to make his debut for the Millers in the live televised game with Sunderland at Millmoor.
