Derry joined Palace from Pompey
|
Leeds have signed Crystal Palace midfielder Shaun Derry on loan with a view to a £250,000 permanent deal.
The 26-year-old former Portsmouth and Sheffield United player has agreed a two-and-a-half-year contract.
Derry is expected to sign later this week and Leeds boss Kevin Blackwell said: "His track record for Portsmouth and Crystal Palace has been impressive.
"His experience in the middle of the park will go a long way to strengthening our squad."
Blackwell added: "Our 6-1 win against QPR last weekend was magnificent and adding a player of Shaun's calibre to the team will, hopefully, mean we can continue our winning streak."
