Derby County sign Leon Best on loan

Derby County announce the signing of Leon Best from Blackburn Rovers on a season-long loan deal.

Derby County have signed Blackburn Rovers striker Leon Best on a season-long loan deal.

The 27-year-old, who joined Rovers from Newcastle United in 2012, made eight appearances for his parent club last term.

"I'm extremely pleased that we have been able to sign Leon Best on loan for the season," Derby head coach Steve McClaren told the club's official website.

"He is a player with Premier League and Championship experience, knows how to score goals and he will provide a different option in our attacking armoury.

"I've spoken to the player and believe he views this loan move as a fresh start, and I can sense he is determined to make the most of the opportunity."

Best was loaned out to Sheffield Wednesday last season, scoring five goals in 16 appearances.
