Shaun Derry

SHAUN DERRY has rejoined Crystal Palace on loan til January.

DERRY made 83 appearances for Palace between 2002-05, and then moved on to Leeds United, where he has now returned from.

The Nottingham born midfielder has yet to make a competive start this year due to injury, but has completed two reserve games in recent weeks.

Leeds boss Dennis Wise says the move to Selhurst Park will give DERRY the opportunity to regain his match fitness.

Eagles manager Neil Warnock said: "At the moment we are short of bodies around the place so I have moved to get him in this week.

"I was impressed with SHAUN's appetite to come down and play for us and he will be vital over the next few weeks as we all work together to move in the right direction."
