Will Buckley joins Birmingham City on loan from Sunderland

Birmingham City have confirmed that Sunderland winger Will Buckley has joined the Championship club on a one-month loan deal.

The 26-year-old's agent Clive Hart revealed last week that they were "examining several offers".

Buckley has struggled to establish a regular first-team role since his arrival from Brighton & Hove Albion in August 2014, making just 24 appearances.

Today, Birmingham confirmed the transfer, releasing a statement via the club's official website, which read: "Blues have today completed the loan signing of Sunderland winger Will Buckley.

"The 26-year-old has moved to St Andrew's on a one-month loan deal which runs until Thursday February 11. He has been issued with squad number 30 and will be eligible to play against Derby County tomorrow."

Buckley also had a loan spell at Leeds United earlier this season.
