Lee Croft finally signs for Derby County after turning 24 at the weekend
Derby County have finally claimed Norwich City's Player of the Year, Lee Croft.

The Rams had to wait until Sunday for Croft to turn 24 and claim him on a free transfer from the Canaries.

Croft has signed a new 3 year deal with Derby and he is looking forward to getting to meet his colleagues and training staff on Wednesday 1st July, when the Rams start pre-season training.

Lee is very pleased to have joined Derby, stating "the club was huge, with a good history,tradition and a huge fan base".

Having played at England U20 level as well as Championship and above, Nigel Clough sees Croft as one of his key signings of the closed season and he will fill an area that the Rams have found troublesome on the right wing...
