The former Millwall and Wycombe player has hit two injury-hit seasons at Kenilworth Road after joining in the summer of 2021, but he has made an impact at sporadic junctures for the Hatters.
Onyedinma featured 21 times last term and was a late substitute in Luton’s play-off final victory over Coventry City at Wembley.
In his maiden season at the club, he made 31 appearances in all competitions, scoring three goals.
The Nigerian made his name at Millwall and made making 151 appearances in his time at the club from 2014 to 2019, finding the net 12 times alongside 15 assists. After a successful spell at Wycombe, he joined Luton.
Onyedinma will provide a much-needed fresh attacking option for the Millers, who completed the loan signing of Wolves full-back Dexter Lembikisa on Thursday.
The 26-year-old is the Millers’ fffth arrival of the summer following on from the additions of Lembikisa, central defender Grant Hall, keeper Dillon Phillips and midfielder Cafu.
