Jackett fought off competition from League One rivals Port Vale, with whom Laird has been on loan this season, to land the Scot.

"Millwall are a big club, and having worked with Kenny at Manchester City, I know they will become successful with him as manager and I want to be part of that," Laird told the club's official website.
