Leicester City midfielder Andy King has completed a loan move to Derby County until the end of the season.

King has made just one appearance for Leicester this season and manager Claude Puel was happy for him to leave in search of regular football.

"We're delighted to welcome Andy King to Derby County for the rest of the season," Derby manager Frank Lampard told the club's website.
