Blues have signed former Newcastle and Tottenham defender Stephen Carr on a short-term deal.
The 32-year-old former Republic of Ireland international right-back, who has been training with the Blues squad for the past two weeks or so in a bid to regain match fitness, has signed a one month contract at St Andrews.
Carr, who will wear the number 2 shirt vacated by Stephen Kelly's somewhat untimely season long loan move to Stoke City, is expected to make his Blues debut in the re-arranged away match against Crystal Palace on Tuesday night.First App. Apps (+ sub) Goals Yellows Reds 11 Aug 2007 11 (2) 0 0 0 15 Jul 2006 34 (0) 0 2 0 23 Jul 2005 27 (1) 0 7 1 14 Aug 2004 45 (1) 1 9 0 16 Aug 2003 42 (1) 1 12 1 17 Aug 2002 38 (0) 0 4 0 19 Aug 2000 36 (3) 3 4 0 26 Sep 1999 37 (0) 0 0 0
