Dyer joins Birmingham on loan

Birmingham City have signed Lloyd Dyer on loan from Championship rivals Watford for the rest of the season, according to Sky Sports.

The winger moved to Vicarage Road after six seasons with Leicester City in the summer, for whom he won promotion to the Premier League at the end of his final campaign with the club.

He has made sixteen appearances in all competitions for the Hornets this season, with his only goal coming in a 2-0 win over Rotherham United back in August.

Dyer began his career with West Bromwich Albion, moving to Millwall and then on to Milton Keynes Dons before Leicester while he has also had loan spells with Kidderminster Harriers, Coventry City and Queens Park Rangers.

Birmingham are currently nine points off a play-off place in the Championship following Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Leeds United, and can now be backed at 50/1 to win promotion to the Premier League.
