Derby have signed Blackburn goalkeeper Frank Fielding on a month's loan as the Rams plug the gap left by Stephen Bywater's injury.[LNB] Manager Nigel Clough has been scouring the market for a new shot-stopper since Bywater was ruled out for a month with a wrist injury earlier this week.[LNB]"It is a real coup for us to bring Frank in, as he is currently the first-choice England Under-21 goalkeeper and has been sought after by quite a few clubs," Clough told the club's official website.[LNB]"He is a goalkeeper we have had our eye on for some time and we tried to bring him in last season, but the deal did not materialise.[LNB]"He has developed further since then and we are pleased we have been able to bring him in because we required some cover after Stephen picked up an injury.[LNB]"Blackburn and Sam Allardyce have been extremely helpful and we are grateful for their assistance."
