Ledley, who will be available to make his debut against Birmingham City on Saturday, has agreed to join the club on a short-term deal until January.

Derby is the fourth club that the midfielder can add to his CV following spells at Cardiff City, Celtic and Palace, where he spent the last three years of his career.
