Derby have completed the signing of former Norwich winger Lee Croft on a free transfer.
Croft, who celebrated his 24th birthday on Sunday, has signed a three-year contract at Pride Park.
"This is a terrific capture for us and fills a position in the team where we need extra quality," said Derby manager Nigel Clough. "Lee is an exciting talent who is proven at this level and above and he has a great attitude.
"He has shown a great desire to play for Derby County as well and these are the types of players and characters I want at this football club as we look to progress and improve."
Wigan-born Croft began his career with Manchester City and made 32 appearances for the club, while also earning England Under-20 honours.
He joined Norwich in a £700,000 deal in the summer of 2006 and became a fans' favourite at Carrow Road. Croft, the Canaries' player of the year last season, scored nine goals in 131 appearances during his time at the Norfolk club.

Well i think we should trust in our great leader nigel because he's probably made his decision with a sound mind and experience and not whilst he's throwing up due to all the sour grapes he's had to swallow
yep i heard of him and yes i wish we had someone half as good but in the absense of such a player i still think it is going to be better to have no-one than croft...
hello the proud brit-ever heard of kris commons? ball crossing?beating players?--NUFF SAID???????????????????????bet you wish you had some one half as good
and nobody will do better..
Yes we have, but now you have nobody!
