Derby County have signed midfielder John Eustace on loan till the end of the season from fellow Championship side Watford.
Eustace’s signing became necessary after Miles Addison and Paul Green were ruled out till the end of the season because of a foot stress fracture and a broken metatarsal respectively, leaving Derby vulnerable in the centre of the park.
29 year old Eustace was a regular for Watford at the beginning of the season, but has not made a single appearance for the Hornets in 2009.
Eustace is expected to make his debut for the Rams in Tuesday’s game against struggling Southampton at St.Mary’s.
Eustace had joined Watford from Stoke City for £250,000 on the last day of the 2008 January transfer window.
