Derby County boss Steve McClaren is delighted with their swoop for Hull City winger Thomas Ince.
Ince, 23, had a loan spell with rivals Nottingham Forest earlier this season.
McClaren said: "To bring someone of Tom's calibre in is a real coup for us.
Ince, who was named Football League Young Player of the Year in 2013, began his career as a trainee at Liverpool and had a loan spell at Notts County under his father Paul Ince.
The England Under-21 international moved to Blackpool in 2011 and spent three years at Bloomfield Road, while also spending four months on loan at Crystal Palace, before a permanent move to Hull in July 2014.
"He knows what the Championship is all about and has made a real impact in the division before," said McClaren. "We hope that he can have an influence on our side for the rest of the season."
