Derby County sign Corey Blackett-Taylor from Charlton Athletic on initial loan deal

"It feels good. I've spoken to the manager a few times. There was interest last summer but I'm just happy to be here now and finally get it done," Blackett-Taylor told Derby's official website.

"It's a massive club, everyone knows that. I'm happy to be on board. I believe in the project for the next 12 to 18 months and I feel like this will be a place where not only will I have a chance to play in a higher league but also develop as a player as well.

"The league position is a big factor to why I came. I looked at the table and I believe I can add a lot to the team and help them get into the higher leagues so that was a big part in my decision making to come."
