Promising Spurs midfielder joins Derby on loan for rest of season

Tottenham teenager Tom Carroll has joined Derby County on loan until the end of the season in the latest stage of his development. The 19-year-old midfielder has made seven appearances in cup competitions for Harry Redknapp's side this season after making his debut in the Europa League play-off against Hearts at White Hart Lane in August. He enjoyed a successful loan spell at Leyton Orient last term - making 14 appearances - and the Rams hope the youngster can make a similar impact at Pride Park. The midfielder, who was called up to the England Under-21 squad in November, is in line to make his debut in Tuesday's Championship clash at Barnsley.

Delighted

Derby boss Nigel Clough told the club's official website: "We're delighted to welcome Tom on board. "He's a highly regarded young player and we have monitored his progress for a considerable amount of time. "He brings another option for us in midfield and it's great he will be around for the rest of the season. "Tom has already played first-team football at Tottenham this season and they view him coming here as an important part of his development."
