Mills joins Derby on loan

City’s England international defender Danny Mills is heading to Derby County on loan for the rest of the season.

Danny has just finished a loan spell with Charlton Athletic and will now help the Rams in their fight to avoid dropping straight back into the Championship.

The player went to The Valley after being told in the summer by Sven-Göran Eriksson that he was free to find himself another club.

The 30-year-old joined the Blues in July 2004 and also spent part of last season on loan at Hull City. -mcfc.co.uk
