Mile Sterjovski has received international clearance, allowing the Australian to begin his Derby County career.

After winning a work permit appeal his move from Turkish side Genclerbirligi OFTAS for an undisclosed fee has been completed.

A delay in paperwork meant his move was put on hold and he had to watch his side's 1-1 draw at Birmingham City from the stands.

But clearance arrived today and Sterjovski is now available for selction against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.

The 28-year-old midfielder joined Paul Jewell's side as the sixth signing in the January transfer window as the team tries to stage what would be a remarkable turnaround from a dreadful start to the season.

Sterjovski has international and Champions League experience and can operate as a right winger or a striker and has signed an 18-month deal with the seemingly doomed side, who are bottom of the Premier League.

He has been capped 33 times by Australia and has played for Lille and Basel as well as Dwight Yorke’s old club, Sydney FC.
