Nick Blackman has completed a season-long loan move to Spanish Segunda Division side Sporting de Gijon.


The 28-year-old forward enjoyed a temporary spell in Israel with Maccabi Tel Aviv over the 2017/18 campaign but has opted for a spell in Spain this time around.

Blackman, formerly of Sheffield United and Blackburn Rovers, has made 29 appearances in total for the Rams since joining from Reading in January 2016 and has scored one goal.

Derby County would like to wish Nick every success in his latest loan move.
