The Irish winger is said to be in talks at the moment with the Millmoor outfit and could sign very shortly.
Partridge, who was signed as a free agent had been playing mainly reserve-team football at Liverpool before being snapped up last summer by Paul Sturrock.
He has formally played for Coventry on loan but the player was disappointed not to start more games at Hillsborough during a difficult spell at S6.
Rotherham manager Alan Knill is a big admirer of Partridge and he is one of a number of targets The Millers want to sign.
Meanwhile former Owl Kenwyne Jones was part of the Trinidad and Tobago team who lost to England last night.
