Birmingham City have signed striker Matt Derbyshire on a one-year loan from Greek side Olympiakos.

The 24-year-old Englishman's move could be made permanent at the end of the current season.

Derbyshire joined Olympiakos from Blackburn Rovers on a four-year deal last summer, having initially moved there on loan in January 2009.

He scored 11 goals in 26 games for Olympiakos, and six goals in 14 matches for the England Under-21 side.

Born in Blackburn, he joined Rovers from Great Harwood Town as a teenager, and also served Plymouth and Wrexham on loan during his time at Ewood Park.
