Striker makes St Andrews switch

Birmingham have clinched the signing of striker Matt Derbyshire on a one-year loan from Olympiakos. As exclusively revealed by skysports.com last week Birmingham were lining up a loan deal for the former England Under-21 international. Former Blackburn frontman Derbyshire, 24, moved to Greece in January 2009 but returns for a move which could become permanent if he impresses for Alex McLeish's side. Derbyshire has three years remaining on his contract with Olympiakos. He could make his Birmingham debut against his old club Blackburn at St Andrew's on Saturday.
