Derby County have announced the season long loan of 27 year-old Winger Lee Croft.
Croft has found it difficult to hold down a first team spot with the Rams and only featured in nine league games for the Rams last season.
Lee enjoyed a loan spell over the border with St Johnston last season and was expected to sign a permanent deal with them but Paul Dickov managed to pursuade Lee to give it a whirl with the Latics this season...
