Liverpool goalkeeper Brad Jones has joined Derby County on loan for the rest of the season.

The Australian shot stopper arrives at the Championship club following Matt Duke’s return to parent club Hull City.

Rams boss Nigel Clough has suggested the 29-year-old will be the first choice goalkeeper at Pride Park as his side aim to stay clear of the relegation battle.

“Brad fits the bill perfectly,” Clough told the club’s official website.

“He has Premier League experience, Football League experience and most importantly big game experience.

“We have some big games coming up between now and May and he will be our number one in them.

“He hasn’t had much first-team football this season, so I am pretty sure he will be looking forward to the challenge.

“Liverpool have done us a big favour and I would like to thank Kenny Dalglish and the other officials at Anfield for agreeing to loan another of their players to Derby County.”
