Derby snap up Aston Villa youngster Rushian Hepburn-Murphy on loan until the end of the season

Aston Villa youngster Rushian Hepburn-Murphy will spend the rest of the season with Derby after joining the Championship club on loan.

It is thought the 21-year-old will initially train with the Rams' Under 23 group as he looks to step forward with his career after he was at League One club Tranmere for the first part of the campaign.

Hepburn-Murphy scored five times in his 23 appearances for Tranmere, including a hat-trick in the 3-1 win at MK Dons in November.
