Derby County have completed the £1million signing of Manchester United youngster David Jones.

The 22-year-old midfielder moved to Pride Park on loan in November with a view to a permanent signing in the transfer window.

Jones, a former England Under-21 international, has agreed a three-and-a-half-year deal with the Championship club.

"I'm delighted to have secured the services of such a talented young player," Rams boss Billy Davies told the club's official website.

"I'm sure from what he's shown for the Rams so far that the Derby fans will know we've signed a first-class footballer.

"David has settled in really well at the club and shown signs of his quality.

"I'm sure he will get better and better the more games he plays."
