Winger Corey Blackett-Taylor says he is relishing his Charlton reunion less than two weeks after leaving the Addicks on loan for Derby County.

The "sizeable" loan fee Derby paid ahead of the 26-year-old's permanent summer move means he is available to face his parent club.

Blackett-Taylor had scored nine goals in 28 Charlton appearances this term.

"I don't think I have that much to prove other than trying to help the team to win," Blackett-Taylor said.

"I'm here now and part of Derby. I'm relishing it more than anything."

Blackett-Taylor has made two appearance for Derby since making his loan move, with his first start coming Saturday's 2-1 win against Cheltenham.

He now returns to The Valley for the first time since he scored his last goal for Charlton in their 3-3 draw with Port Vale earlier this month.

Blackett-Taylor had been a priority transfer target for Rams boss Paul Warne since the summer.

The former Aston Villa forward said the tug-of-war nature of his move was part of being a professional and not something he allowed to become a distraction.

"I was able to put the disappointment to the back of my mind last summer and just played, and focused on every game when they came up," he told ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio Derby.

"And it showed with the form I showed in the months after the transfer window.

"I feel like this season has been a good one for me and I want to continue that here."

Blackett-Taylor revealed it was long-time friend and now Derby team-mate Nathaniel Mendez-Laing who played a key role in convincing him that Pride Park was the place to take the next step in his career.

"He was part of the whole transfer," Blackett-Taylor said. "We spoke a lot and he was tying to get me to come.

"He was saying we can almost help each other in games - he will be doing damage on one wing and I will be doing damage on the other."
