Dave Mulligan has expressed his delight after earning a contract at Doncaster until the end of the season.
The former Barnsley right back had been on a match-to-match deal at Belle Vue but has impressed sufficiently in his three games for Rovers.
He told BBC Radio Sheffield: "It was hard being out of football for five months. But now I'm settling in here and this club is on the up."
The 21-year-old New Zealander played over 60 games for Barnsley.
