Nathaniel Mendez-Laing has played 79 games for Derby County since joining the club

Derby County winger Nathaniel Mendez-Laing has signed a new deal with the club to run until the summer of 2026.

Mendez-Laing agreed a two-year contract when he joined the Rams in the summer of 2022 following the takeover of the League One club by David Clowes.

He has scored seven goals in 28 appearances so far this season to help them to fourth place in the table.

During his time at Pride Park, Mendez-Laing made his international debut for Guatemala and has won eight caps.

The 31-year-old was a free agent when signed by Derby, having turned down a new contract offered by Sheffield Wednesday.

He had joined the Owls in November 2021 following previous spells with Middlesbrough, Cardiff, Rochdale and Peterborough United.

His new deal follows one recently signed by Ryan Nyambe, which runs until 2025.

Derby play Bradford City in the EFL Trophy on Tuesday evening before returning to league action with a home game against Burton Albion on Saturday.
