Derby County boss Nigel Clough hints that midfielder John Eustace will join the club on a permanent deal.

Derby County manager Nigel Clough has hinted that midfielder John Eustace will join the club on a permanent deal.

The 33-year-old, who has been training with the Rams, is a free agent after turning down a new contract with Watford.

Eustace had a loan spell with Derby in 2009.

"He's the sort of character we would like around if possible. He will do two weeks with us. We hope to sit down with him next week - depending on how it goes," Clough told BBC Radio Derby.

"He's a great lad. We knew that from when we had him on loan last time. The only thing he's a bit older then the other lads in the squad!

"He has been fit for the last few months but you do lose a little when you are not playing regular games. He has to do pre-season somewhere and has to get fit so it's ideal for him to do it with us. We can look at him and he can look at us."

Eustace made seven appearances for Watford last season.
