Andy Marriott has completed a move to Premiership Birmingham City for a modest fee.
The 32-year-old joined the Reds in March 2001 initially on loan from Sunderland and the deal was made permanent the following May.
Marriott move to Birmingham City confirmed
He made a total of 57 appearances for the Reds in all competitions and has played in all but one game this season.
He is set to be in the Birmingham City squad for Sunday’s match with Manchester City at Maine Road as cover for Ian Bennett.
Birmingham needed cover with Nico Vaesen out for six months with a knee ligament injury sustained against Aston Villa last week.
