Ray Parlour Becomes A Tiger

Brown returns to his former club Derby tomorrow for a Championship fixture without Ian Ashbee, who serves a one-match suspension, Ryan France, who's out for the season, and Nathan Doyle, who cannot yet make his debut due to an agreement made when City signed him from Derby.

Dean Marney is also doubtful after going off injured in last Saturday's game, and John Welsh is a risk after two months out injured.

City's official website states that Parlour joins "despite easier challenges on offer elsewhere."

The 33-year-old was released by Middlesbrough last month, and joins City on a free transfer until the end of the season.

Parlour was a part of the Arsenal team throughout the 90's, winning 3 Premiership titles, 4 FA Cups, the 1993 League Cup and the 1994 European Cup Winners' Cup. He left the Gunners to join Middlesbrough in 2004.

He also has 12 England Under-21 caps to his name, winning the 1994 Toulon Tournament, and 10 full international caps.
