James (Jay) O'shea should be a Ram in the new year after a £400,000 deal is agreed
Derby County are expected to capture League of Ireland player James (Jay) O'Shea from Galway United after the 20 year old visited Derby along with his present manager and ex rams player Jeff Kenna for talks last week.

A fee of £400,000 has already been agreed between the two clubs and the midfielder/winger is expected to sign for the Rams when the transfer window opens in January....

O'shea is a six foot tall midfield player who can play on the wing. His goal scoring ability has also alerted Paul Jewell to him, having scored 7 goals in 20 games this season. He was also Galway United's top scorer last season.

Jay broke into the Republic of Ireland U21-23 side last month and looks to have a bright future in the game and for Derby County
