Derby County have made an encouraging start to their summer transfer activity, securing several new signings as they gear up for their return to the Championship.

The first new arrival was former Sheffield United midfielder Ben Osborn, who joined on a free transfer following his departure from the Blades, marking an emotional return to the club he supported as a child.

Following Osborn, strikers Jerry Yates and Kayden Jackson were added to the squad. Yates joined on a season-long loan from Swansea, while Jackson signed on a free transfer after aiding Ipswich Town’s promotion to the Premier League.

Additionally, Derby ventured into the European market, signing promising midfielder Kenzo Goudmijn from AZ Alkmaar. The 22-year-old played in the Dutch top flight last season.

More signings are expected as the Rams prepare for the new season, with head coach Paul Warne keen to bring in a new goalkeeper and complete their midfield overhaul.

Here is the comprehensive list of transfers in and out so far.
