Derby County have signed midfielder Joe Ledley on a free transfer.
The Wales international has joined the Rams on an initial deal until January.
Ledley has been without a club since being released by Crystal Palace at the end of last season.
The 30-year-old has made more than 500 career appearances at club level during spells with Palace, Celtic and Cardiff City.

However, he has not played a league game since early February.
The experienced campaigner, who has 73 international caps, is reported to have attracted interest from clubs in England, Spain, China and the United States over the summer.
He was also linked with a return to hometown club Cardiff but, ironically, they ended up signing midfielder Craig Bryson on loan from Derby on transfer deadline day instead.
