Everton striker James Vaughan has joined Coca-Cola Championship side Derby on a three-month loan deal.

The 21-year-old has struggled with injuries over the last year and manager David Moyes is keen for the player to get some regular football.

"This is a terrific bit of business for us; James is a good player with an excellent attitude and tons of ability," said Derby boss Nigel Clough.

"He is also different to anything else we have at the football club at this moment, so will add some variety to our attack.

"We are grateful to David Moyes, Bill Kenwright and Everton for allowing him to come here; I think they know we do things properly and will take good care of him."
