Sheffield Wednesday have signed Leicester striker Gary Taylor-Fletcher on an emergency loan deal.

The 33-year-old was a second-half substitute in the Owls' 0-0 draw at home to Norwich in the Sky Bet Championship on Saturday.

Taylor-Fletcher, who has scored in each of the top five divisions in England, joined Leicester from Blackpool in September 2013, but has made only two appearances this season for the Foxes.

He has not featured for Leicester since the Capital One Cup defeat to Shrewsbury in August.

Taylor-Fletcher, who started out at Northwich Victoria, joined Leyton Orient in 2001 and had loans spells at Grays and Dagenham & Redbridge before signing for Lincoln in 2003.
